Hi there, This might be a silly question........I'm considering obtaining a wood lathe when funds allow. Would I need special training to operate it, with regards safety specifically ? It'll be a simple bench mounted apparatus.......making cone feet and the like moslty. I operate a hand held metal grinder quite regularly +petrol driven power gardening tools (strimmer +hedge trimmer) in the course of my work.....are there specific safetly training requiremnts needed for a lathe, other than the obvious caution you would show a fast moving piece of machinary? Can any one advise, please? regs, David
