It is precious addition to my model workshop. About half way through the making of the YG model, I took a deep breath and bought a brand new lathe. I had always dreamt of buying one but was scared of investing a lot of money in something that may not suit my requirements. I finally opted not to buy a second hand lathe, and went in for this model. As miniature lathes go, it is large, with a bed of 400 mm and a chuck dia of 80 mm. I was eager to test the lathe and build my skills on it and started with turning wood parts, for the axles. But I had to work on metal sooner than later
