Kyle gets the mini lathe home....

I had an employee with a sherline lathe and mill that we set up in the lab at work. I used to tease him about the fact that I could chuck his whole rig up in either one of my big lathes. None the less, I used his lathe at work quite often to get a number of our jobs done. After a while he was ribbing me when he noticed me bringing small jobs into work to do on his lathe since it was so mush easier and more pleasant. Even though I already had three lathes, I bought a Chinese mini lathe for small parts for my shop. I also bought a really small lathe that I could pack in a suitcase and take with me on extended business trips. Actually built a small steam engine in a hotel room with it. Charles. You, Charles, are a very sick person. Of course, now that I know that the product exists... :-))) Peter |
