    Hi Yes , A very good debate :grin: My logic on the lathe , is that metal lathes have been being used in manufacturing since the 15th century . So I'm thinking that the lock suppliers , back in the day , were using them to turn out screws and tumblers for the locks they were supplying to the...

    Hi JD Thanks for taking some time to talk about this subject. I will freely admit I was confused.
