My shop burned in the Camp Fire. The equipment I lost is not allowed to be mentioned on this forum. I currently operate as a captive shop but need to transition to job shop; new circumstances require me to earn profit.
I am limping along with a $600 lathe that is worthless - I’ll struggle to produce the small brass parts I need today - would never dare to attempt a commercial project.
On the upside, we are beginning to ship product again so money is coming in (slowly). My new shop is single-phase power. I’m in California. I’ll want the ability to machine steel which requires power and rigidity beyond my old lathe.
Size is not important, I’ll chase the work that fits my equipment. I just need an entry-level lathe for a job shop start-up.
Thanks,
Brett
