Today I decided to take the plunge and ordered a mini lathe from Micro-Mark, http://www.micromark.com/ and accessories from Brownell's http://www.brownells.com/ and from the Little Machine Shop. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/ The lathe is a 7X14 size and cost $535 plus shipping. I ordered a stand or table for it from the same place. From the Little Machine Shop I got the tools, and assorted machinist necessities such as a quick change tool post, steel protractor, and two steel rulers, as well as another dial measuring tool for lathe set up and adjustment. Brownell's sells an assortment of steel and aluminum round stock for making stuff and I bought some sample packs. They also had Dykem for marking, a scribing tool, and many other things I did not order this time. By next week I will be setting it all up in my Tractor Building.
