    I am looking for a good beginner "lathe" forum.

    I have a 9x20 Central Machine, I have unlimited access to.

    anyone know of a good one I could frequent to ask rookie questions and get some good reading on?

    Well one to avoid is the practicle machinist .

    Mention your little 9x20 and you will likely last about as long as i did ... less then 24 hours

    Not a real friendly group when it comes to the hobby machinist

    This looks like a friendly bunch: http://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/...p?f=42&t=84818
