Hi Guys,
Greetings from Tweed Heads
Have just found this BB and boy am I enjoying every word. Might take me a while to catch up but we'll get there.
So till I do - the dumb question.
I want a lathe. I done some turning - from school through to the old mans TL1200 in his workshop. As an aside the old bugger is 83 and I'm sick of waiting http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/biggrin.gif
Anyway I want to turn outboard, at least 1000 between centres, and it needs to be sturdy. Guess if I had my druthers a Vicmarc VL175 would be nice but a man's not made of money.
I read the post about Bruce Leadbeater and his machines but I couldn't get through to the URL. Can anyone give me a contact point?
I'm open to any advice/ideas and would be pleased to hear if that's okay.
Thanks again for the forum it's great.
