Hi, What kind of learning curve is there for learning to use a metal lathe? I would be using it mostly for pens and bushings.
I am not all thumbs, have a pretty good understanding of machinery in general, and have used a wood lathe only for pen making.
What kind of self-study materials are available - videos, books, tutorials etc?
What are some decent models that will not require me to refinance my home to pay for.....like under $700 or so.
Thank you.
