Hobbyist Lathe to borrow

[Karate Monkey]

Anyone have a table-top hobbyist lathe that they aren't using right now? I need to turn 1/4" delrin stock into buttons.

Total carriage length necessary is only 3", so no monsters required.

Will consider purchase, too, depending on the price/model.

Mine isn’t a table top but you can come use it if you want. I’m in Allentown.

I feel like I'm more or less chained to the house right now, but will keep it in mind, thanks!

Some nice options on FB market place.
Projects like this are easy justification to add a new toy...

Yes, many things that I would be happy to own, including what used to be my family's Atlas (sore subject).

I am thankfully limited by my available space, and capacity of transporting a 1/4 ton machine.

I have a jewelers lathe. It's very small. Would that work?

What's the chuck capacity? I need at least 1/4". The carriage needs to have at least 2" of movement. 4" would be preferable, since I can cut multiple buttons at once.

Do you have bits, as well? I was unable to save any of the carbide before the machinists' box disappeared.

I'll take a look tomorrow after work...
