Hi Chris ... Thank you kindly for your considered post.
It is sound. I realised from this thread that it is much more likely that the operator needs the upgrade kit and not the Sieg C3.
I am going to take this advice, and other earlier posts hinted to me as much. If I have not fully understood and extended the C3's capabilities then it is self delusional to think a more expensive lathe will improve my abilities.
my budget is now free and I may buy a small cheeeep mill along the lines of the C3 and spend more time on my education with these tools before upgrading.
So funny, but the older I get the less vain I have become and the more willing I am to accept others advice. My earlier teachers in ALL fields, who surely despaired, would love to see this post ... Haaaa

Hi Greg,
Now that you have your lathe mill sorted, to back up a little.
Scraping(as in the video) is used to get all the high points of a surface on the same plan(flat).

He doesnt use a power scraping in that video, only a power flaker, they are two different machines(though they look pretty much the same). They dont normally come cheap.

Ta Stuart ...
That really had me puzzled. When no one replied to that bit I thought I had asked a question out of turn. ('Strewth ... Where do we start with this idiot' ... Haaa)
You have made it dead simple and now I will re-watch the video again.
cheers muchly ... Greg
