I have one of the small Proxxon screw cutting lathes, PD250/e. It’s great, I love it. If I was more serious I guess I’d move to CNC[1] but to be honest I really enjoy working by hand as an alternative to IT work. It does kind of lack power compared to a bigger lathe but with HSS cutting tools it works fine. I do have carbide insert tooling too but save that for softer materials like Al. It would probably struggle a bit with titanium but if I stick to brass, Al, silver-steel or 303 stainless all’s good. I wondered about their little tabletop tool grinder/polisher but I do worry the motor is a bit too weak to be useful. Anyone tried it to know for sure? 1. Proxxon themselves actually sell CNC versions of their lathes and mills.
