Thanks Gary, I'm glad you think the 320 is a good machine, I JUST BOUGHT ONE!
I haven't received it yet as I need to get the shed ready, but I might pick it up on Friday. I really couldn't stretch the budget or space to the 335, I would have loved to, but it was beyond me. The 320 seems (for now at least) to be much more machine than I need, which was my plan. I wanted something I can grow into, not out of....
I've also got most of the accessories you mention on their way. At this stage I plan to grind my own HSS tools, but I have a few pre-ground ones to get me going. My father in-law even found some old tools from when he owned a lathe in NZ, including a nice Mitutoyo dial indicator. I've found
CDCO to be a very cheap supplier of accessories to get me started (I'm sure the quality will be average but good for starting off). I've got a lot of learning to do, but it should be fun.
Do you have a lathe Gary? What sort of projects do you use it for?
Dave.
