Now I have exhausted the possibilites of my drill press and jigsaw it's time to get a lathe.
Thinking of this one,

or this one,
https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/L687
or perhaps go small with this....
https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/L685
and get bigger bits done by a pro...which kind of defeats the DIY thing
Lathe owners out there what do you think? I'm leaning to the slightly bigger one for the extra length and bigger swing.
Projects in mind are a 2" shaft pillow block mount which would have an RA shaft around 500mm long.
At this stage I know only what is on youtube and what my Engineer brother can tell me.... A bit scary but I'm keen!
Where to buy from?
Tell me your likes/dislikes and any thing else relevant. Been bitten seriously by the DIY bug....more fun than looking through scopes.
Thanks in advance.
