Default Re: First lathe

I have to replace my Taig Micro Lathe from the fire. It will be replaced by the first machine I should have gotten. A Sherline with variable speed. Pulleys are quite limiting to what operations you can perform. For instance there is no way to get the lathe to spin slow enough for cut-off operations.
