Do I need a Lathe?

[Michaelr]

I bought a "peatol" many years ago and found that to be very good and accurate. Apparantly it had been developed for the aerospace industry so is no toy. It is very small , electric powered with speed change via a belt system and has all of the accessories availabe at reasonable prices.It is truly a bench top lathe
The chap who represents the firm over here is in Birmingham and has been doing it for years so is knowledgeable and reliable, I saw them at the Harrogate model engineering show many years ago that Alan referred to in an earlier post.
