An update on my Taig Lathe. If anyone else is considering purchasing one.

Made my first usefull parts on my little Taig Lathe today - some nice knurled handles to replace the annoying cap head screws on the tailstock of the lathe! A pretty easy modification and saves time hunting around for an allen key wrench.

The only problem is that they turned out so nicely I'm replacing all the split moulded plastic handles on my chinese magnetic base now. I also modified the handles on the saddle and cross slide so it has spinning handles too.

I've purchased a quick change tool holder from A2Z cnc in the US - very nicely made and makes the lathe much more pleasant to use. I just wish I'd remembered to order a few extra spare tool holders for it!
