Hi I have a Sherline and it is handy but slow. Everything takestime to setup. Even more
than a larger lathe.I do all kinds of odd things with it but I bought it years ago whenit
didn't cost so much.Dwight
C: All you can expect is .010 cuts in brass or mild steel I'm told. I despise when
people insist that a lathe/mill has to be gigantic to be useful. But that's too much
on the lite side for me.
To hell with the mine is bigger brag :)
Sometime a small lathe is useful
