The price of the Harbor Freight 4 X 5 Micro Lathe dropped to $72 - so I snatched one up and figured it would be good to learn on and play with. It exceeds my expectations! Check it out!

Go tthe Lathe in on Friday and took a few hours to clean all the shipping grease off. Here are a few pictures of the "event" and a video of the lathe working - and it does work - quite well :)



Check back later for more projects, and possible a CNC conversion of this little lathe!
