Default Itty bitty lathe

Dremel used to make a mini Moto-Lathe 700. I still have one from when I
made doll house furniture some 20 years ago. Searching on the Dremel
site for 'lathe', I get no results, so I guess they don't make them anymore.
If you want to buy one, rather than build one for small work, Harbor
Freight sells one for $170

From the HF picture, it looks more sturdy than my Dremel, which has no
cast pieces at all, other than the plastic.


Proxxon also makes a "micro-lathe". Very good quality, but a little
spendy.
