Re: Lathe Suggestions

A small import lathe can easily machine custom axels, spacers, etc. Machining 1/2 inch 7075 hex shaft tends to push the limits of their ability.

You definitely need to be on top of the maintance game with these small lathes. If you machine much hex stock frequently, inspect the gibs for free play often.
