Thread: Metal Working Lathe
Threaded View

17-06-2015 #1
Hello everybody, I live in the UK and I am looking to buy my first Lathe. I have a budget of about £2000 I would need the lathe to be able to produce fairly big work pieces (at least 50cm in length) and work with most metal materials. I am torn between buying an older second hand one which seem to be more rugged, or a newer Chinese based lathe. I'm interested to hear peoples experiences and what they would recommend as a good quality machine.
