I want to buy a 3 in 1 lathe mill drill
I want to buy a 3 in 1 lathe mill drill http://www.smithy.com/product_home.php?c...
will this be capable of work with both materials or do I call for whole seperate machines?
Answers: Looked at contact....neat tool.
However, it is a metalworking combination tool & does not hold "real" woodworking capabilities
You could drill & mill wood to some extent, but it does not own a tool rest for freehand wood turning & the bed is short.
Woodlathes are completely different machines & require different tools & techniques.
Would consider a separate rig if woodworking is noteworthy..
Might me some true "dual use "machines out there though.
Best regard
all you requirement are the adapters for drilling the metal and wood settings are the same
