G’day everyone,

I’m currently helping a friend search out a new lathe, and I am also looking at possibly getting a lathe or a lathe to convert to cnc.

Last time I bought a lathe I spent weeks researching the machines available and looking at the details which I think are importantly to look for.

Some of these are obvious, some less so. And a lot of this is informed by the mistakes and things that were overlooked in the previous times that I bought lathes.

I hope you find this video useful.

Cheers
