Thread: Advice Sought for Lathe
Threaded View

Hi All,
As I'm getting dangerously close to producing stuff with my CNC Router, the other machine I'm looking at getting is a lathe.
My requirements are not that clear, but I guess I'll have a budget of circa £1K and Single Phase ideally (although I guess I could use a VFD for a 3 phase, as I have a spare 2.2Kw that normally goes with a spindle). The machine needs to be fairly compact and I have a decent square section steel workbench, so something with an overall length of ~1metre.
Materials will be up to occasional stainless steel, but more regularly probably mild steel and some aluminium.
I have had a look at the Sieg Super C6, which seems to fit the bill, but opinions welcome.
Cheers
Chris
