Hey guys! New poster, long time reader. I'm a newbe/ wannabe hobbie machinist, in colledge now earning an undergrad degree in mechanical engineering. I am pretty good/ and love to build things from scratch, very "hands on" kind of person. And After several months of pondering and researching, I purchased a mill and lathe, so I finally bought the Harbor Freight 8"x12/14" lathe and the Harbor Freight Mini mill (44991). I just ordered it last friday along with a little machine shop.com/lathemaster.com order for accessories. I live in Wisconsin and awaiting the delivery of these two machines. I CAN'T WAIT What is the usual delivery time? im thinking 10-14 days.
Any tips for setting these machines up? I have read fignoggle.com's web site along with several others, and they are really informative. I'll post some pics when i get them.
