metal lathe use for basic turning?

I’m looking to use a lathe for some easy turning, but I can’t seem to rent
one (which is odd, because you can rent bulldozers easily enough) - would
it be possible to come and use your ML7? Probably an hour’s work, if that.

I’d need the following tooling:

left-hand cutter,
right-hand cutter,
plunge cutter,
drill bits

would these be available?

Many thanks,

Mark Appleton.

Hi Mark,

Yeah, that’ll be fine, you can come in and use it on the Wednesday open
night, or become a member to use it any time. I’m assuming you know your
way around a lathe?

Just make sure to leave it clean, I spent 2 hours cleaning it at the
weekend!

Bob,

I know my way around that lathe:). If all the tooling is available (I
forgot to mention a boring bar, by the way), I shouldn’t be there more than
an hour.

How does one go about becoming a member? Wednesday nights are bad for me at
the moment, and if the Saturday open day is too far away it might be worth
my just joining up:)

Hi Mark,

Just fill in your details at http://hacman.org.uk/become-a-member/, and
you’ll get sent a link to set up a direct debit from a company called
gocardless (they handle our Direct Debit setup).

As soon as the first payment clears, you get RFID access to the space, and
can tap in whenever :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

There’s no boring bar that I’m aware of though tooling may have changed since I last used it. You may want to take your own tools if you have them or get a set to use.

Can you let me know which is the next Sunday that’ll be an open day? It
says “every third Sunday”, but that doesn’t mean much if I don’t know
which was the last!

M.

Also, I can do without the boring bar, but the left turning, right
turning and plunge I’d need.

M.

Every 3rd sunday means the third Sunday of every month, however they have
not been massively organised recently. The next one due is the 20th of
July, and as it is a week before Manchester Mini Maker Faire I expect there
will be people around. I will be in Wales myself though.

That’s the third Sunday in each month. So this months is on 19th.

Sorry 20th. Apparently I counted Saturdays rather than Sundays :/On Wednesday, 2 July 2014 09:23:34 UTC+1, tas kay wrote:

Does anybody have a list of the tooling available for the lathe?
