Hi.
I had loads of scrap shit laying around my house.

>maybe I can make a lathe with all this junk

The only things I didn't have was some steel box section for the base, the 0.5mod spur gears pulley + belt and the tapered roller bearings.

The rest is either free samples of industrial automation shit, steel pipe, motors scrounged from a old kid's ride-on car thing (hopefully torquey enough).

Will a forstner bit be ok to drill through 3mm steel box section so that I can bore a 'headstock' exactly parallel to the lead-screw ways?

PS. yes it will be shit on the first iteration, but hopefully good enough to turn new parts for itself.
