Building a miniature universal lathe

[ViKARLLParticipant @vikarll]

Hi wotsit,

 

Your description about the book is very tempting indeed !!

 

It’s regretful there aren’t a single DIY text in English (sorry for my ignorance if there is) which gives such a verity of design options in one book !!

 

Yes, these are two of the sites that have caught my interest a lot. Could you also point me to your posts on the material comparison you have mentioned above?

 

Thanks & regards,

Hi, ViKARlLL

 

I’m a bit confused – I didn’t write anything about material comparison – did you mean one of the other guys discussing Epoxy, etc?

Sorry if this is off-topic, but when I was a teenager in the mid 70s I recall reading a series in Model Boats or the then equivalent of RCM&E a fascinating series called ‘Building a Dead Centre Lathe’. I can probably trace an interest in model engineering back to that – my Dad who was fiercely against metal mangling was less enthusiastic (the old rotter now has a Unimat).

Hi wotsit,

 

Sorry for being vague, I was referring to your comment;

“I have posted once or twice on the availability and cost of materials ordered from Germany, as opposed to UK”
