The purpose of the Metal Lathe Forum is to encourage discussions about metal lathes in general and their many possible uses in the production of pens and pen parts.
We are fortunate to have amongst us several members with many years experience running lathes in machine shops who are willing to share their knowledge. Like any machine, the metal lathe presents a unique set of problems and challenges, and there is nothing like the voice of experience to guide us along.
So, whether you're trying to learn the basics of running a metal lathe, overcome some of the day-to-day problems and challenges presented by the machine, or wondering which lathe is right for you, jump in the discussion.
If you're one of those experienced with the metal lathe, thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
