The Taig Lathe

This is my Taig Lathe, I bought this 3 years ago and after 2 house moves in a year and various other difficulties now I hope to put it to work. After much research and alot of advise from fellow home machinists on discussion boards I went with the Taig over a China made "mini lathe" I think I made the right decision. I originally bought the lathe for my scale plastic modeling work but am interested on scale steam engines now and hope to move from plastic to wooden ship modeling where the lathe with the milling attachment will come in very handy. In the photos you se the Taig with the milling attachment installed, the tool posts and tools and the accy's for the lathe. Also my new virgin workbench I build in my garage. Alot more organizing of tools and such to be done but its a start.
