Re: Machinist opinions
one of the 7x10,12,14 lathes are great for this hobby
and one of there mini mills to go with it
just watch for what tooling it takes if you go with r8, if and when you go bigger you can use most of your old tooling on the lathe and mill
i have a cummings mini-mill that i bought new for $250 off the truck because it was scratched and my lathe is a harbor freight 7x10 that was got on sale for $325 but it is not r8 so i have to have two sets of some tooling
and yes both needed cleaned and adjusted but all new ones and even old ones need that
