--- Quote from: xzswq21 on August 22, 2021, 09:38:22 pm ---:) Thanks Do you know a precision lathe machine? I want to buy a Proxxon PD 250/E, it's 1600$ with the accessories. --- End quote --- Don't, you'll regret it. I know the PD250 well, and it's flimsy, has no features and is overpriced. The minimum I'd go for is something like this: https://www.stuermer-machines.com/brands/optimum/category/product/optimum-lathes-conventional/optiturn-tu-2004v-3420310/ But I'd recommend going up one size: https://www.stuermer-machines.com/brands/optimum/category/product/optimum-lathes-conventional/optiturn-tu-2304-3420320/ MT3 headstock, MT2 tailstock, proper carriage movement etc. Accessories? Pfft! The only thing you need to start with is cutters. Order those when you have a machine to be certain of the correct shaft size. They're not expensive, you can get a set of 5 different modular carbide cutters for 100 Euro (but you'll probably only need two of them). After that you can start considering drill chuck and live center for the tailstock and center drills. Also not really expensive. The links are not because I endorse the machines or have any affiliation, but to show the kind of machine I recommend. You can probably find almost identical machines at 2/3 the price as China non-brands. |
