Lathes! Wow. The tool that can make itself. Once you figure out what a lathe can do a mechanical type person probably needs to get one. And then you have to learn to run it. And then you bust stuff. Fly things around the shop. Oops. Glad it didn't hit anything. Next thing you know, you do a bit of research and find out they are all built to a different standard. Some of them are incredibly well made. Of course they weigh the earth so you better like the one(s) you buy as they are hard to move & hard to sell. I'll start a lathe appreciation section here & as I get around to it I'll highlight certain lathes with a page of their own, to be listed in the column on the left. In the mean time, here's a few favorites & ones' that got away........
