    So I am after buying a mini lathe and am keen to learn to use it

    Does anyone know where I could buy round stock of different materials and diameters without costing me a fortune I.e. I rang one metal supplier today and was told that the minimum for 40mm aluminum was 4 meters. Costing over (€100)
    Thanks
