• massive lathe I passed on about 10 years ago when the uni my dad worked for were moving out of a campus. It was a proper big industrial thing. What was I thinking?!

    Oh no yeah that wouldve been awesome. its such a handy thing to have around. To be honest you can get them quite cheap, a small one at least. Every so often they pop up on http://www.lathes.co.uk/page3.html/

  • My dad has a small Warco combo lathe/mill but it is really hobby quality, lots of slop in the ways etc.

    I’ll keep my eye on that page though I still don’t actually have anywhere to put one.

  • Thats the nice thing about the older machines, they are usually made to higher standard as long as theyre not super used, they usually work pretty well
