At uni 4 of us designed and built this for final year engineering project, we did everything on it.. including the welding and machining. Was an awesome opportunity to learn a ton.
At uni we had access to all the manual and cnc mills and lathes, which I miss since i'm always thinking of things that I could do if I had them.
Looking at lathes, these Sieg C2 jobbies seem to be pretty good value for money. Since i'm flatting I probably wouldn't want something much bigger as no doubt i'll have to move it at least a few times. Anyone used one or got other recommendations around that price range? I don't mind spending a bit more for quality kit.
Doesn't seem to be many mills on TM, I see there is a Sieg branded one with a small bed. I could probably get away with just getting a drill press, but where is the fun in that. I'd rather have the flexibility of a mill.
Is this new chinese stuff up to par? or should I wait for a second hand deal of a reputable brand to pop up?
