Anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive metal lathe | Page 2 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Wonder if my wife will notice if this shows up at the house

that's what I was thinking but everything I am reading recommends not getting a multi unit and go with 2 separate pieces. This guy seems to really like his though.

I made the mistake of applying for an amazon card which has free financing for 12 months, I hate having debt but that might be worth the 150 a month.

Did find this older atlas that comes with a ton of extras.

crap, HF is making it tough

if only they would let you use the 20% off with that.

Kind of leaning towards this one right now, I think it's the perfect size and have been reading good reviews on it. They are sold out till the end of Feb when the next shipment comes in which will give me time to talk to my machining instructor when class starts on the 22nd.

Did get a chance to look at the machine shop classes are held in, they have several cnc's set up, hope we will be working on those as well.

starting the machining class tonight, my buddy signed up for it as well, kind of excited, hope it turns out better than the welding class
