    Looking for a decent mini lathe in EU

    Good luck with your lathe and let us know your experience with it. People are reluctant to part with their EMCO's I sent 3 second hand Compact 5's to Scandinavia over about a two year period, the customers were always happy to pay the carriage costs.

    Looking for a decent mini lathe in EU

    Get your self a second hand EMCO Compact 5, you will not be disappointed, you will find one in Germany easily. The quality is really good and you can still get all the parts to keep it going (not that I have needed any). I don't think Optimum are made in Germany, it is not really possible to...

    Metal 3D print

    No the angle orientation is setup by the company who is doing the work, this angle is according to many factors mostly relating to support of over hangs. The big cases (4 off) are 6.5 cc.

    Metal 3D print

    What is on the table (6 parts) is £1200 Timeline is probably 6 to 8 weeks for submission of final design.

    Metal 3D print

    We will be running a job at a commercial print house, there is some space on the build plate maybe you could jump in on that space? You can see the space at the top of the build plate.

    Metal 3D print

    We did not get any such problems on the NB 40 cases done by DMLS process. We are assured that the material is homogenous and consistent throughout. Accuracy is very good as well.

    Fuel for compression ignition engines (around 1 cc) - diesel model air plane engines

    In my experience more than 12 months in a tightly sealed container, or just days in a bad container. You have a lot of air volume in the container which is not good.

    Fuel for compression ignition engines (around 1 cc) - diesel model air plane engines

    Back in the 60's and 70's Eifflander used to recommend 33% each of the 3 main components and then some ignition improver, which is basically their running in mix. I found that works great.

    Mini Lathe Issues and Concept Execution

    Jason Absolutely perfect. Then he would have just needed a half decent setup with the rotating tool mounted to the cross slide. Notice I say rotating tool, I doubt a Dremel is rigid enough for what was being described, the nose/front of a Dremel is a bit flexible.

    It was an interesting challenge that the OP set. I doubt he resolved that problem with his skill levels.

    Nasty collets

    Some of these bad collet sets are just not worth bothering with, some run out nearly as much as a three jaw chuck. In England (where you are) there is a company in Oxford called DJ Workholding and they sell the Fahrion collets, you will not be disappointed in those and you don't need to buy a...
