Default Which Lathe for Beginner?

Donald Nichols scribed in
:

First, you might want to check the tables for your dividing
head, to see what you have to do to get 127 teeth.

*Then* come back here and offer to make them for people. :-)


my answer to that is 'fit a stepper motor and an old 486 laptop with
TurboCNC software'.
even hand entering the G codes for a 127 tooth wheel is trivial
compared to any set of tables/hole plates (-:

swarf, steam and wind
