The Taig lathe is said to be The Engineman's most used machine. As you can see, he has made a number of enhancements to it which include a 60 hole dividing plate, leather way wipers, a Unimat-style threading attachment, a homemade leadscrew gearbox, a travelling steady, a tailstock die holder, and a full set of ball handles. I choose the Taig lathe because I could buy individual pieces of the lathe as I needed them. I started out with the basic lathe headstock & bed, the cross slide, the milling attachment, and the collet set. I bought a 1/4 HP motor at the local Grainger store, and I bought the tailstock, and larger four jaw chuck at a later date. This piecemeal approach enabled me to get a taste of precision machining with minimal investment. The Taig works better than I ever imagined, and it is a very nice machine. I bought my Taig lathe from Nick Carter. Nick is an authorized Taig dealer and has an extensive web site devoted to the Taig lathe. Nick also offers a discount for Internet orders and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. |
