When are you going to get a real lathe?

C'mon, Gunner! A Sherline IS a "real" lathe. It's not a GOOD lathe, but
it's very, very 'real'.

Isnt the Sherline the little toy lathe that pencil makers use?


For small parts, it's the right tool and it works great.


Id be more than happy to supply you with "the right tool".

No..sorry..I gave away the Lorch LAS a couple years ago..just
remembered

Ran nicely and cut screws well...but the new owner did have to order
some change gears made up.

Looks like you are stuck with the toy.
