well about 4 maybe 5 weeks ago i let the smoke out of the motor on my Lathe, try as i might there was no way i could get it back in:(:(
i was planning to start stashing away some pennies to save for the new beast, but alas the old one died all tooo soon, there was a fair bit of debating what to do which way to go
what the heck DO IT!!! so i have added a Vicmarc VL150 SM to the man cave, it arrived last night and YEP out of the box onto the bench and my new pen
this lathe is amazing, i hit the go switch and there is next to no noise but the spindle is spinning, it has electronic variable speed - GREAT INVENTION, and it even has an extra gear - REVERSE:2tsup:, i am very happy with the decision
the day the old one died, i had a blank in the pressure pot casting, so i have wait 4-5 weeks to turn this new pen, i looked at the blank every night, showed it off to many people as my new pen - got some dumb looks, where is the ink was the common response, a bit hard to hold was another
Well last night was the night
Ultra Cigar, dressed in a Mecha Watch parts blank, it took about 4 hours to make the blank, 6 hours to cast in a pressure pot at 50psi, i think it came up a treat
thanks for looking
