Hi all,

I recently bought an SC4-510 lathe and have spent the last few weeks learning how to use it and building up a small collection of tools. I haven't used a lathe since school so it's been enjoyable to get reaquainted and I hope to learn much more from the very knowledgable folks on here.

My day job involves a lot of steel cleaning so I make my own emulsifying degreasers and acid based rust removers. If anyone needs any help of that sort, I will be more than happy to!
