Out1 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Anyone know of a local metal working shop with a lathe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monica40 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 The shop across the main road from Soriana's owned by the canadian brothers, I believe they have a lathe. They are in the green building on the west side of highway coming into Chapala from Guadalajara, right before the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yes! Monica is correct. I've seen a1930s car there being rebuilt from the ground up and they specialize in VWs. They also have a plasma cutting machine. If that is the right name for it. They know their stuff alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For wood-working it would be the Have Hammer school/shop where they have the largest selection of machines around including laths and most are nearly new in Ribaras next to S / S auto. Phone 766-4830 for student involvement in your custom carpentry job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And of course a wood lathe is not going to cut metal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
