I am looking to buy a cheap lathe to do the following work.
I will be working on some 10" long pipe under 3/4" diameter.
I need to make small sections of it thinner ( face?), and be
able to cut the pipe to length ( part? )
I am specificaly interested in THREADING, I NEED to be able to
make 14x1 left hand thread.
Are the cheapo harbor freight ones suited to this? Which is the
best to buy?
This lathe will be LIGHTLY USED, I do not need an industrail
machine. I am simply wondering what INEXPENSIVE lathe can perform
the task and HOW to perform the threading task ( what gear set up ect ).
Harbor freight has 2 7x10 lathes listed that look identical,
there is a $10 price diferance...... which is better? what is the
diferance? Will either do the required task?
