Posted January 18, 201114 yr I'm picking up a nice shiny new lathe on Thursday morning, it can machine up to 200mm diameter and 350mm long. If anyone needs any one off parts making for a project, I shall be willing to make them for a very small fee (cost of material, plus delivery, plus just a couple of quid to help pay for this lathe). I also will be getting a mill soon and have grinders, welders and drills so the skies the limit.
