Hey folks, I've just joined the group, and I'm looking to buy a new
mini lathe for turning some R/C model engine parts... I want to make
my own head buttons, cooling jackets, carb parts, etc. for nitro
powered model race boats I play with.
I understand that many people consider the Chinese mini lathes to be
"toys", but If I can get some parts made and learn a bit at the same
time, I can always step up to higher quality unit later on.
Since I haven't yet decided on my new mini lathe, what's the best
deal/brand name going right now? Looking to spend under $500 for the
lathe itself...
Thanks in advance for your advice. :)
