Equipment/LatheMillCombo
Bought in March 2011 from pledges this is a combination Mill/Lathe/Drill Press.
All members will have to have safety training on this machine as we don't want it broken and would assume you would like to keep your fingers.
It's worth reading around the subject before you try to start on the actual machine - it's easy to teach some simple basic operation, but much harder to teach all the things you SHOULDN'T do. You've got to get a real sense of your limitations, and always research any new operation to make sure you're doing it safely. There are pointers to educational materials in the Library
There is a 4-jaw and 3-jaw chuck for the lathe, and a huge vice for the mill.
If you would like to help there is an active pledge to buy more tools for this machine.
The Logbook is used to record any changes, problems or concerns about the machine.
