I'll give it a nudge. I got a mean lathe, and high school metal work skill level. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: Who's got a lathe and knows how to use it?
You actually mean "can someone turn me up some spacers"
You "turn" on a lathe and mill on a mill....and drill on a drill , just to make it confusing
Not trying to be pedantic, just an observation.
