RE: Lathe
I bought an ENCO 9x20. Not the best in quality but once you figure it out its real handy and the price is ok. Has done everything I've needed it to so far. Would have been nicer to get the next size up. It already comes setup for a quick change tool post. I had to modify mine, well worth it. Will be making some struts for my spitfire and build a set of retracts and struts from my zero. Got the mill too.
