I made a lathe before, it worked great but needs a new spindle and it had lots of problems. So I thought I'd start a new one.
This one will be made of all scraps, I'm using what I have. I know it will be very small and not very strong since the X and Z slides will be made from .092" aluminum plate.
If this is successful, I will make a larger one from .25" steel plate. This one is only a prototype.
