George,
I just ordered mine as well, off ebay but it's coming from Homier. If
you hav'nt checked out these sights yet go to littlemachineshop.com
(LMS)and mini-lathe.com they are full of good information. To get me
started I ordered cutting bits from mcmaster.com they seem to have
the best pricing so for and really fast shipping. I ordered my drill
chuck from LMS as well as a dial indicator. I'm still tooling up as
well. I guess a larger lathe chuck is in my future soon. Just which
the lathe would show...lol. If you come across any good info cc me.
Thanks,
Craig

Hello everyone,
I would like to thank every on who replied to my
meassage on what
type of mini lathe to buy.
After reading the replys it seam to me the majority
went with
Homier's 7x12 Metal Lathe.
I ordered my Sunday night on the internet.
Now from what I understand, it is not ready to run
out of the box, I
have to buy tools for it to be used.
Could anyone give me a list of the tools that I need
to buy and where
to get them.
Can any of these tools be made (there seems to
always be a money
shortage around here) with the lathe?
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Kelvin
