PM-1030V Slow to Get Going

[erikmannie]

Have you tried torch cutting? Now that is fun!

I have tried it, and the results were horrible because I had a hard time adjusting the relative pressures of the 2 gases in the cutting torch. It was fun, though! I always like working with fire.

In 4 weeks, I am going to Hobart Institute of Welding in Troy, OH for 2 months. One of the classes that I am taking is a 2 week class on oxyacetylene welding & cutting.

Here are 2 brass cups that I made on the PM-1030V. A lot of boring!

I agree, my old Clausing 3329 lathe is my favorite tool. Is it me? Or is a lathe kind of like a Tardis? That one machine can do so many amazing things.
