  1. well im thinking of building my own self propelled 1 but im thinking that the center shaft needs to be balenced so if i could buy a cheap flail that would give me the balanced shaft as a start then alot of cigs and scratching of head im sure i can build a flail mower of sorts ha ha


  2. As you will prob no the verniers today have a fare sized LDC display so its so much Easter to read I bought mine off eBay I think the 3 different sizes only cost about 60 quid which is still not cheap but when you think dro system would prob set you back about 1000 it ain't bad its a little different for me as I'm an engineer for my job and I've all ready saved the company enough Money to pay for the lathe and tooling and I don't really no what I'm doing.I'm turning scrap metal odds and sods into machine parts something free into a shaft or bearing housing that would prob cost 100/200 its only my time so gaffers happy and I'm getting experience in something new I think anyone that wants to do or try something in today's world should be you tubes best friend its like getting 20 years experience in 20 min then its just practice


  3. Hi tom the only thing I would say on this is if you are a beginner like me try to find a lathe that has got auto feed it really dose give a pro finish using cheep eBay tools I bought myself Cole Chester triumph and boy she is a tool cost me £1250 delivered which I thought was fair only prob I had with it when I got it installed was it was only in thou / inches so the dials really meant nothing to me as I'm in metric but I watched on you tube and I see some lads on there was using vernier calipers bolted on to make there own dro so I've ordered 3 different size verniers to put on mine I'm not saying that its going to be 100% accurate but if you do your working out to leave 1mm final cut and then check your mesurment you can't really go wrong hope you get on OK regards tom
