Make money with a lathe?
I just bought a mini metal lathe (7 x 12″) off ebay, and i was wondering about if there is anything that can be made on a lathe that has a high demand for and could be sold. (preferably on ebay.) If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
thanks

a cool column

You will have to come up with a really unique differant idea, because a manual lathe is the same as labor intensive, and computer control (CNC) machines today can make a part in seconds compared to what you can do in hours, I wish you all the luck and maybe you can come up with something. The machine you have is better for some kind of small repair work, where someone needs a small part right now..but that isn’t steady work..
