Evening all,
I've got the chance to purchase an Emco Emcomat 7 screw cutting lathe.
Originally in my master plan I was going to purchase a Chinese lathe, but i've always been a bit dubious about this.
I've done a bit of research on the lathes and they seem to be well regarded, but being a newbie to metal working I dont really know what I'm looking at.
It comes with no tooling, and doesn't have a quick change tool post.
Are things lik chucks and tool posts unique for model to model?
Can the parts still be obtained for this lathe?
thanks for your help
