NTHER91 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 This may be a long shot but I am in need of some machining help. A retard co worker broke a part on my great grandfathers 6" atlas lathe ( the compound rest) I believe he crashed it. I would just make another but I can't seeing as the rest holds the tools. So my question is, Does anyone know any hobbiest or someone with a small mill that could help me out. Paid of course. And believe me I know he shouldn't have been touching it. This ended a 15 yr friendship. Matt, Nate, mike F. Or anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm of no help, I'm not a machinist nor do I play one on TV. I doubt that Nate is in state so sending Matt a PM is probably your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
