[QUOTE="backcreek, post: 162492, member: 277"] Hay Jethro, It all depends what you want to do. You are pretty limited with single phase machines but in saying that there are some good machines out there. I have a small lathe at home, the belt drive type we used at school in metalwork which is handy for small jobs. I have a milling attachment for it as well but just don't expect much from it and your OK. We have a couple of lathes at work that I use all the time, one of which is a single phase Chinese machine which I tend to use more than the bigger machine. As a starting point I'd have a look at Hare and Forbes range and work from there.
