Small metal turning lathe as a tool for model building
Hi all
I have just made a call to Carba – Tec in Brisbane to make inquiries about the Siege range of lathes
Mainly about the fact that a lot of the models have nylon gears and what are the expectation of a lathe of this price and type.
I have a larger metal lathe that I have turned pieces of wood making wheels ect
Is there any model builders using a similar siege lathe for this purpose
The lathe I was looking at was a Siege C3.
Last but by no means least is the very pleasant young lady by the name of Ann, whom I spoke to about the siege range. Anne was on the mark with all my questions which really surprised me thinking I would be talking to a male being generally a male domain.
At the end I asked what her background was to be on the ball with all that information and knowledge. Anne informed me that she was a Patten Maker.
and had done model building as part of her trade so if you need to find out something about which piece of machinery to buy or achieve a certain outcome give her a call.
