hi all
new to site and new to metal working but im interested in purchasing a mini lathe and have been looking at this site
http://users.tpg.com.au/users/p8king/tl4000.htm
my budget is the TL4000, was hoping to get your opinions on both the lathes on this page and main differences.
I'm also going to get the TL6000 milling machine... basically im starting an apprenticeship next year fitter/machinist and basically want these machines to experiment and play around on for learning purposes and whatever else I feel like making.
I will be looking at around the $1200 mark for both of those machines (australian dollars) don't really want to spend much more...i will have to buy tools and the like as extras anyway.
