3 Why this Clinic? Small Machine Tools Idbtdf debated for years before bf buying my small machine tools because I wondered if I would ever use them enough to justify having them. What I found is that these tools have far more hobby applications i that I ever envisioned, i and now that I have the tools I can t imagine doing without them. In this clinic I will talk about these hobby applications and discuss the tools and all their accessories. April 2013 Small Machine Tools Mark Schutzer 3

4 Small Machine Tools What are they? Small Machine tools are lathes and mills that have been scaled down to tabletop dimensions. s. Tools are portable and small enough for the hobby bench. Have the features and versatility of that you find in full size machines. Affordable to the serious hobbyist. April 2013 Small Machine Tools Mark Schutzer 4
