![]() ![]() But I didn't like it much compared to my Atlas. I think if you were an experienced and well versed machinist that you could do anything you wanted with a mini lathe. ![]() They are limited by size so keep that in mind. What little experience that I have with the mini lathes have not been happy experiences. I changed out the lathe chuck from a 3 jaw to a 4 jaw and chucked up the plate. We bought some scrap 3/8'' stainless plate and I cut 2 6'' square plates in the band saw. We needed 3/8'' thick Stainless flanges for Bruce's Blazer exhaust. And 2 to 3 grand is about the going rate for a good used lathe.Ī good example of things that don't come to mind when you think about a lathe is header flanges. My neighbor has a Southbend Model A that is a 9 x 48 that he told me just yesterday that he is going to sell. You will be amazed at what you can and will do that you never thought about doing before. It is the handiest thing that I have ever added to my too list. I have a 12 x 36 Craftsman branded Atlas. ![]()
