Damn Frink, youve got a local machinist buddy and you mention none of this to me, err him?
Harsh.
With that said, I can give you a hand for loading, but I do work afternoon shift mon-fri. Ive been trying to get one for the past couple months locally, decided id say screw it with the micro lathes. If you haven't heard/realized, princess auto, busybee, and that like, generally suck
.
Ive settled on getting a used, older, larger lathe, now just need to find the right one!
