Description

Owners of the small metal minilathes marketed by Harbor Freight, Grizzly, etc. can trade tips here along with general discussion of other home workshop machining tools and techniques.

There is a fair amount of off topic banter on subjects of interest to the hobbyists that gather here. If you are unable to skip over what doesn't interest you or have trouble controlling yourself in the presence of folks that disagree with you someone set up a tightly moderated group HERE.

Ketywords: lathe minilathe mill minimill bandsaw 7x10 7x12 7x14 milling turning
