    The more I play about with my CNC, the more I find I need a lathe to mill round or square solid bar for small projects.

    My question is, when you buy a mini lathe such as the "Metal Worker Super C3 Mini-Lathe " or simular, do you get everything you need to ; as an example = milling down a 40mmx100mm round solid bar of mild steel to 35mmx100mm, then cutting a round pocket in the center at one end ?

    Or are there hundreds of pounds to be spent for bigger jaws and different cutters etc before you can start to do such things ?

    I have never owned one, so I do not have any exp with this.
