I’m a musician and amateur instrument builder, and my interest in pipemaking has me on the hunt for a small metal lathe. I’m also looking to expand my limited knowledge in machining, the Forum looks to be a great resource.

Woo Hoo! I take it you play the pipes - other instruments? I was a drummer in the pipe band when I was a young lad - still play the drum kit, bass, Uke, harmonica - etc great fun!!

Snare drummer. Cadet not Militia, mind you the cadet band was stronger than the militia band back then. We are talking battle dress, ankle boots, trouser weights and putties here.

The 9 and 10 inch Southbends are not the best if you’re planning on turning wood. The spindle oiling system is capillary driven and the oil return holes are pretty small. They are prone to getting clogged with wood dust.
