Proxxon DB250 Mini Wood Lathe

[Jorge]

Hello Gents!

Got a sweet deal on a Proxxon DB250 wood lathe, so I pulled the trigger on this unit with the 3 jaw chuck while I save up for a Sherline.

Are there any tips/tricks/mods that can be performed to improve function/added value? Would love to see what you guys can come up with... already saw a stainless steel mod for the tool rest, so this one seems a no brainer to perform... bugger, more stable tool rest.

Please, let me know what can be done to improve the unit.

Thanks!

Jorge
