where can i buy 1/8" lathe bits? for unimat 1 knock-off, central machinery
hello all. i just got a central machinery (harbor freight) 8 in 3
machine. i will be using it for mostly plastic, hence no need for a more expensive sherline, etc. while using the lathe on a r/c truck rim, it seems the bit is pulling into the workpiece and jamming. i'm guessing this is due to the lack of rigidity of the machine, but also because of the angle cut on the bit. i looked on the internet for small bits (1/8") for this machine and couldn't find anything. does anyone know where to get small bits for these machines. |
