[QUOTE="Draco, post: 372520, member: 479"] Any of you folks machinists or toy around with such at home? I have 0 training or idea where to start....That being said....I'd like to add something to my shop/tool collection. Why? No good reason, just seems like a nice option to have when needed. Just an idea I've been kicking around lately. I know they're dangerous and you need some working knowledge of the machines. My brother worked in a machine shop for a while and can help me a little or I'd be glad to have someone from here drop by and show me some stuff. Mostly, I've always been self taught on everything I do....Don't see why I couldn't do the same with this after some "general direction" and safety overview. If you had to choose one, would you rather have a lathe or a mill? One more versatile than the other? I don't have 3 phase power so I'm not looking for a big machine, just something to piddle with more or less. Found a couple smaller lathes on craigslist in the $1k range. Any good forums you recommend? Thanks! :dblthumb: [/QUOTE]
