Good Evening All
I am from South Africa, I am currently doing my Trade in Aircraft Maintenance, and Studying Mechanical Engineering Part time. I have always been interested in model engines.
Towards the end of last year my brother and myself jointly bought a Emco Maximat V10. For a very good price, With which I hope to have many hours of happy machining. How ever it needs a bit of work before any turning can get done. So at this point i am currently getting Nylon Gears cut for it, as the originals are all cracked. Also i need to change the motors from 3 Phase to Single phase as we have no 3 Phase power at home, and service delivery here will just render getting 3 Phase power installed nearly impossible.
Some time soon I will have the little machine running again, and can start on my first project.
And Learn all the skills involved, I can use a lathe but at the moment my skill on them is limited to turning bushes
