Shortly after the CNC mill the emco compact 8 lathe arrived in my workshop! Now I can make all the things! I have some ideas to upgrade the machine (DRO, electronic lead screw and other attributes). And learn how to use it of course (minor detail).

Lathe project 1: a tapping die holder, printed and machined to size on the lathe.

Lathe project 2: Pull tube to close collets, machined from round stock and tube (work in progress).
