Hi guys,
Totally new to metal turning and need some advice. I build custom fishing rods and want to turn my own reel seat harware and butt caps out of Nickle Silver and Aluminum. Wondering just what you'd suggest for equipment. Most likely to buy used if available. Thanks in advance for your help. Feel free to email me.

Since you are in NY I would look for a hardinge they were made in elmira. A hardinge would be a great lathe for what you are doing. If you are lucky you might find an older hlv but a 2nd op would work well.
