Hello I'm the new boy!

Hi guys thanks for having me on your forum I can already see from a quick look around that its going to be very helpful indeed!
I have recently purchased my first lathe , although I have used one before for simple turning jobs at college and work.
I have a mk2 tds metric lathe which i bought in a bit of a state from a friends dad and I've just started cleaning it up.
I am hoping to use it for a few small jobs plus fabricating stuff for my car restoration/modification.
You will probably find that I pick your brains a lot on the operation of my lathe and what its capabilities are !
I will try and upload some photo's of my little beast as soon as i can.

Once again many thanks.

No problem and good luck with it !
You might already have noticed, but andy b and dazz seem to be the Viceroy experts - if you have a question it'd be best to post it on here and give them a "nudge" via PM if you think they could help (Private messaging)

well I hope they are set for some questioning

I have looked at the posts they have left and found them really useful and inspiring too already, so I think I'm gonna be in good hands with you guys!!

still cleaning my lathe at the moment so once finished I'll make something as a test, and there are a few knobs either missing or broken so thats my first job I think!!!
