I registered back in March, but never took the time to introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Mike.
I got my mini-lathe and mini-mill about a year ago. Wish I had done this years ago, as metalworking is a blast. Mostly been using the lathe, though. In fact, I had the mill sitting in pieces until yesterday. I threw it all together to fix something for the lathe, which I had torn apart to clean and make a few mods.
Anyway, looks like a fun forum. I really enjoyed John's thread on fixing Darren's lathe. I'll be doing something along those lines before I finish putting the lathe back together.
Hope I can contribute once I get more machining time under my belt.
Mike
