Nothing like turning copper alloys on a metal lathe. Steel? that's another story. 5 rules of the machine shop: 1. We don't f&*k around. <-also the answer to all questions and admiration comments about stuff produced in the machine shop 2. If one is to build, then one must over build. 3. If one is to load, then one must over load. 4. A good machinist never makes a mistake, a great machinist can compensate for all mistakes made. 5. There are never enough tools. The work done here is excellent. I worked in a machine shop part time for 5 years in college to help pay the bills and loved. I really wish I had a lathe about your size and a J-head Bridgeport pretty badly at my house. |
