Hi Guys
After being at uni for the year and learning how to use metal lathes and milling machines for the first time i have been able to make parts by myself rather than outsourcing it.
I'd quite like a similar setup at home obviously on the small scale so was thinking about looking at micro lathes and milling machines, to continue to produce bits and bobs for my fws all year round.
just looking for advice really, where to look, do they make combos of the 2,
i'm open to many things, so second hand doesn't bother me, those ones i talked about at my uni have been running for like 25 years + or something so i know getting a decent piece of kit and maintaining it will work (even if its 2nd hand)
any help welcome
cheers alex
