thought id show off my "desktop machine shop", give some of you guys with bigger machines a good chuckle
it's a teeny tiny manual lathe and mill.
ive done a fair few modifications to make them useable
can machine small items in brass, ally and softer iron with a +- 0.01mm tollerance.
have done a few usefull things with them, brake caliper mount adjustments, suspension bushings, customizing/resizing bolts, parts for my robots.
it cant cut threads, but i have a tap and die set so not an issue for me.
all in (including accessories, bits and bobs) they cost me around £700-800.
any questions or comments are welcome.
