Hello everybody
I'm from Sorel-Tracy, Québec. I'm retired twelves years ago now ,we chose to sell our bungalow where i had a pretty good homeshop in the basement. So i sold all my life long accumulated machinery. As consolation price i bought a small bandsaw and a light press drill. I save a lot of my hand tools in a heavy wodden cabinet, well organized wich i'm proud of. Everthing have to be compact for I have to share the 10x12 room with my wife's stiching activity. Some mounth ago I chose to replace m'y most missing tool, the métal lathe. I bought a Taïg mini lathe and a lot of accessory available. I was expecting some déception on comparaison with my gone full size lathe but not so to my surprise. I'm just beginning using it and I feel that, taking into account its size limitations it is an powerfull tool.
I had to re-discover the tooll & raw material supply. As I will focus on small parts, I need aluminium, plastic, brass and marginally steel. For tooling, KBC is my first choice. For Aluminium and Acetal Aircraftspruce offer a good place with fast response and low cost transportation offer.
