Lift your model making to the next level. Add a lathe/mill combo to your workshop

When it comes time to buy that first lathe, or upgrade to something larger than a mini lathe, have a look at a lathe mill combo, particularly if you're short on cash and space.

You get the advantage of turning and milling operations without crowding your work area or emptying your bank. Because after you get a lathe, there is still going to be extra cash to layout for all those tools and accessories that you're going to need and the shop won't get bigger straight away. Plus you'll find that a combination lathe-mill-drill can be a pretty useful addition to a home shop for hobbyists doing smaller work.

Having a milling head on the lathe allows you to carry out lots of extra operations that model making or hobbyists will need to do in their shop. Nothing is more annoying than being limited in operation. You have a great idea or want to make some fascinating model but you have to lower your sights just because a lathe only is not enough.

With a milling head you can mill keyways, splines, slots, flats, drill holes and the list goes on. Stub axles with keyways, shafts with spanner flats. With a smaller lathe/mill combo, taking smaller cuts will overcome most of the problems that arise in getting a good finish.

And remember, you can't use a drill press as a mill if you want precision and of course safety as the drill press chuck is not designed for milling operations.

Getting hold of a dial indicator and mini-mag holder will also help you achieve fine accuracy.

The Shop Fox M1018 is a fine mini metal lathe for the small shop. With the machine you get a 4 way turret post, 4 inch 3-jaw chuck and a built in rotating vise. You have the availability of inch and metric threads, an 11 ½ inch swing over the bed, nearly 20 inches between centers and a ¾ inch spindle bore. The motor is ¾ horsepower 110volt and easily powerful enough for the type of projects that come out of the hobby shop. Lathe speeds can be changed between 160, 300, 375, 470, 600, 870, 1360 RPM and there are 14 Mill/Drill speeds.

With an approximate shipping weight of 475 lbs this machine is no light weight and you will need a means of lifting unless when you get it delivered you pay extra for the carrier to arrange lifting gear. Generally free shipping only means from the vendor to a fully fitted loading bay with forklift facilities.

All in all, the Shop Fox M1018 lathe will be a great benefit to a small shop and you'll be able to go ahead and work on projects that would otherwise be out of reach.

Changing from the lathe to the mill may take a little time and you will have to watch adjustments and measurements, but with practice this will become easier and given a little time, you'll be turning out your own masterpieces and moving on up to high quality, intricate projects.
