Hello

Hi, I've just picked up a Flexispeed lathe and will no doubt be asking lots of questions, being as I haven't done much with a lathe since leaving school some 30-odd years ago!

Hello Brassmonkey. If you left school just 30 years ago you are a mere slip of a lad on here… I hope you enjoy your lathe.

Where in the world are you?

Ah, I'm back on tea-making duties then, is it? 😁

They're a bit thin on the ground now and I think they'd laugh at such a tiny machine compared to the beasts they're used to!
