The following video shows a mini lathe.






The story behind: Just a quick shot of manually parting off a disc from a rod of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene in my Sherline 4400 mini lathe. I needed to make a few spacer discs exactly 0.120" to space some shelving brackets away from the vertical wooden wall on the front of shelf, over which they hang. They worked out great.

P.S. The price for
Sherline 4400 mini lathe isa around $675.
