Re: Homier Lathe Arrived Today !
Hmm... Did you copy the period at the end of the sentence? The link works fine for me. It's the link to their reference section, rather then directly to the cutting speeds page, though.

Re: [SPAM] Homier Mini Lathe questions
Homier arrived today, and as expected, no Live Center. Other than the tools and gears, the only accessories that come with it are a 3 jaw chuck and a tailstock dead center. Ed

Re: Woodworking with the mini-lathe
Vikki, congrats - I didn't say anything earlier, but i thought to myself that with those tools it would be a miracle if you can do anything. Just wait till you get your hands on a true HSS gouge.

Re: mini laths
