    Please help me to choose a lathe for my project

    cx709 lathe is ordered in BB Calgary store. I'll travel there to pickup from Vancouver this weekend. I may have some extra space in my minivan if anyone needs something from there.

    Could anyone also recommend a mill model? 7"x7"x1.5" workpiece, face, edge, tilted drilling jobs. There are craftex machines on sale but I'm sure that (unlike lathes) I can find some better offers on fb marketplace.

    0.01' radius tolerance. Targeted steel and filled PTFE so far. Likely, I will have to use some kind of support mandrels. Considering a mill, I need to make a groove and more features on the inner surface of the ring. Not sure how I will be able to do it with a mill.

    I quoted a couple of shops around, it finally will be cheaper to just buy a lathe. 10" is imo too small. I believe I'll avoid a lot of frustrations with being able to machine it straight from the outside.

    my plan is to use a mandrel for plastic tubes.

    Yes, thanks. This is actually my backup plan. I'll first try to get a standalone unit lathe though.
