    Thanks Nigel, go for it. My lathe is the comedy Unimat 1, which being made of plastic will hopefully get the serious modellers on WT in a tis. But as I am turning masak and plastic, is all I need. I’ve no plans to turn steel or iron wheels for 7mm, it’s all about knowing what you intend to do with it.

    The dials on the Unimat 1 are accurate enough to enable repeat turning which is all you need.

    The shot of my wagon wheel batch below was all done using the dials and all came out at 2.3mm wide.
