Wanted Small Lathe and Milling Machine

Wanted Small Lathe and Milling Machine

Bruce has just joined us and is looking for a small lathe and milling machine.

Not sure if he wants new or used.

Can anyone help?

Bruce said that he has looked at the Smart CNC website http://www.cnc-kit.net but reports that “the address & phone number do not seem to exist”.

Anyone dealt with this company?

I particularly would like to know because the motor and/or controller on my Sieg SC4 lathe packed up and Smart CNC may be able to supply the replacement(s).

Please post replies in the comments box below. I will forward to Bruce personally.

    Hello Alan,

    As you know, I built both my mill and lathe (full CNC) and would be willing to share my drawings with Bruce, (and any other interested members). The DIY route is certainly not for everyone, but as both myself and Philip have shown, it is an option here in Thailand.

    I bought my lathe and mill from Smart CNC. Below is the contact info for the owner. I had to get my wife to call him and ask him to answer my e-mails. After that he answered very well in good English. I have been pretty happy with them.

    Hi Alan,

    Just sent you an email with some attachments. The quotation is for a small lathe but ordered from China. I met the company at Metalex 2016.

    They have various lathes and small milling machines – maybe suitable for Bruce.

    The TNT option on the attachment – if you can upload it for me – includes delivery inside Thailand so you don’t need to bother with shipping clearance, etc.

      Morning Andrew
      I see you attended the last Metalex exhibition.
      I have been to the last five.
      If you are going to the next one let me know and I could meet you.
      How is the latest clock project going.
      I would still like to see the diorama of the lack you made from the photographs it looked superb

        George,

        Yes I have been going to Metalex every year for 5 years now. For the past two years I went on the Saturday when they let the punters in! Can get some discounts there as well.

        However, I can’t afford the large machines at THB 20 million – just outside my budget. So lets try and meet up in November 2017.

        I have sent some photos up to Alan for putting onto the web, including a couple of machines I made (filing machine and a pinion cutter). There is also an update on my grandfather clock, where I have now got to the difficult bit – engraving the chapter ring then making a wooden clock case!

        The railway diorama was fun to make. I have previously done something similar when I made a dolls house for my daughter (many years ago).
