G'day All,

New member here with a Tida 5A Taiwanese machine with a 1985 build date.

Learned basic turning as an apprentice in 1970 - haven't done much with the skill set until now.

Looking forward to extracting as much info as I can from your experiences.

Ted.

Welcome!
I've also got a Taiwanese lathe of similar age. It's a 1987 Takisawa TSL.

Steve,

I quite like mine - it's cleverer than I am at the moment - I'm relearning after a long long time between jobs - but now i have to really learn some techniques.
