Hi All
Well I know this is not a metal working site but I was just wondering if there are any family members out there that have one of the small mini lathes like Harbor Freight and Grizzly sell.
Then if you do how have you found the quality and functionality. By functionality I am thinking has it served to turn metal parts to a decent usable tolerance, anyone made a thread on a rod on one of them?
I have a hankering for one (secretly always wanted to be a toolmaker) and often get to looking at them have seem the site dedicated to them but wondered about family members opinions. Dont neccessarily want to go joining multiple forums etc.
