Well I have been using a Emco Compact 5.. but they are no longer made!!!
Does everything I need to do...
Cuts my Titanium Grade 5 Valve-Stems very cleanly..


Also it cut a good variety of threads(imp. and metric)
But someday I need to get a little larger swing lathe......

Hi Aggy,
like Stuart, I have an Emco Compact 5 desktop machine.

However, I actually have a MkII CNC machine.

They are often available on eBay but run up to 4 figures, price wise.
