    suggestions for lathe

    Wow... That is something I wasn't aware of. You're right. The cost could of repairing could really hurt you. Kinda pointless to rebuild something when you want to build something else. The bubble was busted with me seeing I always look for a smaller Cman lathe even though that's a little hard to...

    suggestions for lathe

    Look for an older Craftsman/Atlas, Clausing or Hardinge lathe. They are always on Craigslist. Wish I had the room for one. Not too many ChiCom tools I would buy. Never a lathe or welder. My $.02 . What's your location-ish?

    compressor threw a rod :(

    Nice carnage.... Now that you're out a compressor. Have you given any thought to buying a used one at half the cost? Ton of smaller speedair and craftsman out there. Made in the U.S.A. too. I know you're from Toronto so, I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I'd start checking Estate sales...
