Not sure where to post this but.....
I used to have access to a proper Lathe but my friend recently moved up to Port Sydney.
I was thinking about buying a small 7x for making spacers and what not. I understand that its not going to perform the same as a big lathe but for the small bits and pieces I do and the tolerances I need to work to it's probably going to be OK.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I would prefer metal gears if possible. A lot of them are just plastic.
Thanks in advance
