So I am going to pick up my first lathe it is 110 volt so good for a home shop it has a normal tailstock not a turret and a cross slide and top slide so excited to pick it up will get some pictures when I get it! I am probably one of the only 12 y/o with a lathe so I feel so lucky! Lathe>video games!

I can't wait to see it!
Don't forget how top heavy all these machines are when you are moving them.

Have fun! There's lots to learn along the way! Start with safety practices... lathes can be very dangerous. Enjoy the new tool!

Do any of you know what the t slot is for?
