Aged 63, pondering retirement and perhaps getting to do all the things that should have happened in school metalwork lessons but somehow never did – I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows what a lathe or mill looks like but had zero practical experience?

Hi John welcome to the forum. Plenty of answers for you here. You can do a search using keywords. If you cannot find the answers you need just ask and someone will help you. Nearly all what lathe or mill questions have been covered here. If you ask a question give as much info as you can to help get the correct answer.

regards

Welcome

Plenty of advice on here.

You will probably find a Model Engineering Society in Coventry, Leamington, Rugby, Solihull, and elsewhere in Warwickshire.

If you visit the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition at The Fosse , in October, you will certainly run across some of them.

But find one, and join before then. No doubt members would let you visit their workshops to see their machines, so that you can make a better choice of machines to buy.

Enjoy yourself!
