Hello all.
After searching for months for a first lathe (that won't cost me a fortune) I have found a Hardinge Cataract available near myself for 1350 Canuck Bucks.
The model I am looking at seems to be a mid 40s model and it seems to be in a good condition.
Catarcat Lathes
Would any of you Lathe masters recommend this as a first lathe to learn how to use the machine, or is it too simple of a machine for a rookie? I've read through the page I supplied and I'm not sure how one would cut a cylinder that is longer than 2". Any ideas, recommendations, or comments are appreciated!
