Re: Lathe Suggestions
Machining 1/2 inch hex shaft can be done on a mini-lathe.
For general FRC use something around a 10 x 40 with a BXA tool post size is ideal. Having a quick change tool post speeds up the work. Watch the motor specs, you need a motor that will work with your existing power outlets.
You'll want to save some of your budget to buy a good assortment of cutting tools, cutoff blade, grooving tools for c-clips/e-clips. Also a full tap and drill set.
