You can find info on cutting speeds (and lots more info) on the LMS

. If you haven't
seen it, be sure to check out their mini-lathe manual as well,
available at .

I order a Homier over the weekend and got it today! I had planned on
spending the evening cleaning it up, but there was no red grease to be
found. All the bare metal had a light coat of oil on it. The back
splash and pan were both dented, but no creases and I was able to
straighten them out just fine.
Unfortunately, my Enco order won't arrive until tomorrow so I have no
tools yet (or anything to cut).
I ran it per the instructions to break it in and realized that 2500
RPM is pretty fast. I was surprised at how quietly and smoothly it
runs. What speeds are used for cutting aluminum? steel?

Be sure to check out for small mills and lathes.
