    3-in-1 Mill/Drill/Lathe

    Post by Ivo on Mon May 10, 2010 1:37 am

    Hello my respectable machinists Smile

    I do not own any mills/lathes yet and have only worked with such machines on a scale of clock work mechanisms - Very precise, but miniature in size and rather simple in construction with little number of features.

    I have little space, so I would like to hear your thoughts on the 3-in-1 combo machines and whether they are comparable to dedicated mill/drill and lathe machines.

    What popped up in one of my searches is Smithy 3-in-1 series.

    >>> http://www.smithy.com/products.php?cid=1



    It looks like a good package that is close to my budget(that is if I save up for a few months Razz ), what are your thoughts on these machines? ...are there any others you can recommend? ...and of coarse how big should I go on the size and features when targeting crossbow making? biggy

    Thank you for all your help,

    Ivo
