New Lathe

[BD]

I broke down and purchased a metal lathe after messing up one to many stems on the wood lathe!!

Got the Cummins model Mini Metal Lathe. Made my first stem on it yesterday and I am very happy with it. Much more exact and its nice being able to slow it way down to do the drillings.

Now I just have to explain to the wife about the tooling I need to purchase to get it to where a want it.

Any suggestions for a 4 jaw chuck for it?

Thanks for your time.

Bill, one of the guys here steered the rest of us innocents to a site called littlemachineshop.com --- it's a really great place, but you should sit well back so you don't drool on your keyboard.
