Would like to purchase a mini I mill / lathe combo. To tinker with some gun parts and modifications. Everyone says get a quick change gear model. How long does it really take to swap out a set of gears ?.
Have been looking through the used, nothing there yet that peaks my interest. How disappointed will I be if I just snag a harbor freight lathe, just to practice my crashing and get past the learning curve ?
Also in the back of the Walmart site there is some grizzly machine combos at a decent offering.
I live along the a river, that has some great fishing. So after making Caterpillar parts for almost 25 years-- I might lose interest quick in having to sweep chips off the floor anymore.
Thanks
