Hi guys,
I am a complete newbie looking to buy my first machine.
Not even quite sure what i am going to use it for, probably more artictic work than functional. Anyway, my question os this:
I have eyed up a SIEG C3 machine available in the UK from a supplier that will fully prepare the machine for me(for a fee). However, it is available ex stock in Imperial and as back order in Metric.
Now all the talk about these machines and on here is in imperial.
While in Ireland, where i am, it is miles to Tipperary and i am fond of the odd pint, i like to work in metric.
So what are the implications of metric machine ? will it be more difficult to get tools, material etc? Sorry if this a very basic question, and i guess it is aimed at my more experience European machinists rather than USA , where i am sure Imperial is t he way to go?
Thanks for your help guys.
Daithi.
