Hi guys, i'm new to the forum but it seems like there is a wealth of knowledge and experience on here.
I have purchased a Sieg C2 lathe (which has not arrived yet and is days overdue
) and at some point when the credit card has recovered I want to get a milling attachment for it similar to the one that "the little machine shop" sells.
There seems to be a few variations on them and i was wondering if anybody else has a C2 that has added the milling attachment or "vertical slide" to it could tell me which one is best for the price, or what other options i have that i may not have found?
i am chasing one with a vertical lift but i also want the ability to rotate it for milling different angles without repositioning the workpiece. it would be even better if the rotating plane had a degree measurement on it.
i have seen the rotary tables and i think they might be a bit expensive at the moment because i'm not looking at rotating while operating the machine, more so between cuts.
kind regards,
Jase
