Hi All,
I finally managed to get a hold a metal lathe.
It's an Emco Maximat v10-p.
First questions are around that.
My uncle got this from a neighbor about two years ago and knows it worked then.
Is there anything I should do/check/clean/lubricate before starting her up after just sitting for awhile?
Second question, what now?
Long term goal is to build full cues. I was thinking of getting started with joint protectors just to learn my way around the lathe and not waste a bunch of material.
What are the bare minimum tools I need to get started? What sources do you recommend for these?
Any literature or guides you guys would recommend?
Thanks for any help.
