Hello Gentlemen
I am new to the forum but not new to machining. 1st of all,my hat is off to each and everyone of you who designs, makes, and builds. Myself, I am a Journeymen with 16 years behind me, with mostly a moldmaking background.
I have aways worked for someone else,and it time for me to "step it up". I am planning to buy a lathe and I have been looking at Birmingham,YCL-1660 to be exact. I seen another thread from Shimitup about Birmingham lathes
but that not the lathe I'm looking at, but got some good insite from birmingham products there. I like to here from the guys who has a 1660, or if that not possible any infor on birmingham products would be nice.
Thanks
Dave
