Hey, I'm quite new to this forum, and figured i'd jump right in with a question
I'm looking for a new/used small yet usable lathe in belgium to make the piston and cylinder with for small vacuum engines.
I can make the flywheel & mounts on my cnc mill..
I wondered if any of you had suggestions for tiny lathes (I don't have the space to put a decent sized one in the garage anymore)
I do have access to an amazing set of big lathes at a friend's place, but I can't keep going there to make things in my spare time.
There is somewhat of a budget for the lathe, but it's yet to be determined
I have 3x220V available, or 220V 20A single phase.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm not going to go for big engines on it, so I think I should be fine with a chuck size of 80mm (to make the flywheel)
