Lathe recomendations please
« on: August 17, 2012, 05:30:39 PM »
I have a lathe at work (a wee clarke) but I am wanting something for my wee workshop at home. I will shortly be selling my 200amp mig as I rarely use it (along with half full LARGE argoshield light) The money I get from this will be added to a fund to get myself a lathe. I am thinking of around £400 to spend.
It HAS to be single phase, really high precision is not required. completely manual is fine
Any recomendations, second hand or new?

If it works, take it apart and find out why!
