Plans for this project available at https://www.almfab.com/store/p/flip-top-lathe
I've wanted to add a lathe to my shop for YEARS, but I kept thinking there's no way I have space for one. When I started designing my new miter station I realized there was a perfect spot for a mini lathe inside. This flip-top design is a relatively simple build, however, it took quite a bit of trial and error to get a working version.
