Hello all from Perth Western Australia
« on: January 31, 2013, 11:16:41 AM »
Having recently fullfilled a long held desire to have a lathe to play with and quickly discovering that a lathe on its own is not a complete toy set. Tried a vertical mill slide etc but found that rather underwhelming! Any way picked up an ooollldddd 6X26 knee mill and found arnoldb's thread on his beautifully made and documented rotary table whilst looking for ideas on making one of my own.

Hi and welcome to us  :wave:
It's very good to us if you don't show you're photos in full size, it's impossible to have a good look when the size are to big... :scratch:

Hi Rod

Welcome to MadModder Rod. Judging by the photo you have a pretty good start to your shop and it doesn't look too cramped. Always nice to have room to squeeze another machine in if necessary.

If you have any questions just ask as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion.

We look forward to your participation in the various forums.

Cheers  :beer:
