[TR Engineering]

Hello. I new to the forum and have just purchased my first mini lathe. Its a japanese Toyo ML 210. Can anyone offer any advice on this machine. I have had lathe experience but it was many many years ago.

Hi TR Engineering,

Welcome!

Now that you've joined the turners, what's your first project going to be?

Hi Ken. I am building a new rudder system for my Foxcub 18 yacht, this will need bearings of around 50mm diameter so thats my first task. Any help is most welcome as i know next to nothing about turning !

If you post a note in our Help Me Build subforum, you'll likely receive some useful advice. Wish I knew more about it, myself.

By the way, have you seen our BoatBuilds.net site? You might find it interesting to peruse…
