Hi folks,
I was just wondering if anyone is turning pens on a drill press. If you are or used to, how did it work out?
Right now I have a cruddy HF lathe. There is so much play in the tail stock and play in the screw in the tailstock. I'd like to get a jet mini lath or something like it, but not now, maybe in a month or two. Too close to christmas.
I was thinking that I might give turning on the DP a try until I get a decent lathe. Here is a link to the parts needed to use the DP incase anyone is interested in looking at it.
