[PSUBS-MAILIST] Mini Lathe

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks Hugh & Scott.Yes I was concerned about the rigidity in the tool post, & size & price are a concern.I've been through a couple of hours of videos reviews on the C3, but no mention of boring.It's 7" x 14" which is smaller than the one you bought Scott.I will look at thier larger models. I haven't come across too much that is negative aboutthe Sieg mini lathes.Alan

Rigidity is gold.  If you are going to use a boring bar up the inside of 5” long hole then rigidity. How much do you want to spend?  How much room do you have?   Hugh

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Mini Lathe  Anyone familiar with the Sieg C3 Mini lathe?I am looking at buying one mainly for the initial purpose of making up aluminium housingsfor the brushless motors I have been experimenting with.I want to start with a 3" diameter, 5" long rod of alluminium & bore it out in steps for the propellor shaft,seals, bearing & motor. The internal diameter will eventually be 2&1/2".Could I do this succesfully on this lathe?Thanks Alan
