Hello,
Please be gentle with me! My husband annouced he has always wanted to own a lathe - well what else do you buy a man who has everything?!
Ive searched on ebay and am bewildered by huge choice, I am really hoping somebody on here will be able to shed some light on this huge topic.
Some more info, I dont have thousands of pounds to spend on one of the monster sized ones. I think, he will mostly use it for metal work as opposed to wood work - does the machine have to be one or the other?
It will be used rarely, for cars, motorbike restoration so no major heavy duty requirements.
Im sure Ive missed alot out, but really appreciative of all advice and buying contacts you may be able to pass my way
Many Thanks
