Otto Frei TAIG Micro Lathe II Kit-Basic Mechanical & Wiring Skills Required for Assembly

This is the Otto Frei TAIG Micro Lathe II Kit that requires assembly. Everything you need to make it look like our 141.100 assembled kit is included.  Assembly requires some basic wiring of the motor to the on/off switch and placement of the components on the mounting board. The mounting board is pre-drilled but you need to source your own screws for mounting.. There is a YouTube video available for viewing online showing how to put yours together.   Our repair department is available for consulting if you need some help, but it is not a difficult job and a good way to save a few bucks on the finished lathe.   The Otto Frei micro lathe is a rugged precision instrument that is hands down the best value in a small precision lathe. The quality of the components is exceptional and considering the price, truly amazing. Compare our assembled and pre-wired micro lathe to other brands like Sherline and Unimat, and you will see for yourself just how much quality your money can buy. A precision machine with the capabilities to 'HOG' 1/8" cuts in mild steel yet 'Dust' a few tenths, making the Micro Lathe II a very versatile machine.
