    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    The closer I get to finishing my machining hobby room the less tolerant of chips I get. I was playing around with both mill and lathe last week and swept and vacuumed before I left.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Not too bad. Popped the wood gussets and exposed the Hysol embedded control arm. A Dremel to cut into the epoxy and I was able to remove the arm. I enlarged the notch and test fitted the arm. It is a good 3/16" higher.
