This is where all the action will be. You can see the Taig Microlathe in it's current state. It's actually not bolted down yet, just sitting there. I purchased the basic kit. All the initial lapping has been done. The mounting board is a 12"x 24" shelf purchased at Lowes. I added a sheet of 22 gauge steel on top for durability. I was going to use the motor in the upper left corner which came out of an old electric scooter. I decided against it however because the power supply would have to be rated at 40 amps which is huge. I have the battery and charger that goes with it but the battery (Seen on upper right corner of desk) weighs a ton and I would have to constantly be recharging it. I'm hunting on Ebay for a suitable motor.
