Our Men's Shed is just getting established and at the moment we have a Sealey lathe loaned by one of the members untill his workshop is up and running. We also have t he loan of a small bandsaw from the same member.
So, I am looking around and asking what will be the best reasonably priced lathe and bandsaw for us to get? At the moment we are packed in to a 20' converted container so can't get anything very big! The expression compact and bijou comes to mind!
I've been looking at the Axminster AW305WL lathe and the AW1400B bandsaw, but my experience with new kit is very limited as I have had my Sartrite 301S and Record CL1 for 25 years or more and haven't really used anything else. So any ideas would be greatfullu accepted
