Hi There
For some time I have been fooling around with a small wood lathe, to make parts for construction models and mechanical models which I have some plans and assembly drawing for. I have limited knowledge and experience with the lathe and wondered if there might be an adaptation in the way of a compound slide or travel to do fine turning of the smaller parts, as with a metal turning lathe. I have seen such things on lathes in years gone by and wounded if there is still such thing around. Also is there any one out there with the same interest hoping to here from someone out there with same
Regards colbra
