If you’ve never used one before, and are just getting started, you can save a little money by shopping around for used screw machines. First, you need to determine what kind of part you need to make, because once you get the machine, there will be additional lathe machine attachments to add to the device so that the part comes out right. The marvel of making things has been hidden for years by manufacturers, who sell their products to distributors. Sometimes the manufacturers sell their product directly, even to the customer, but a lot of times there are a few levels until the product gets to a store or website where the customer can buy it. If you can save enough money to buy your own lathe and raw materials, that’s fine, or even learn how to do your own 3D printing to prototype them first.
It’s not that this can’t be done at all. There are plenty of resources online to go out and attain some screw machine training. If you want to be your own personal manufacturer, that’s fine. Self-sufficiency is good, and there’s not much of that around these days. I can’t promise you it’ll be cheaper, but if that’s what you enjoy, it can certainly be fun if you have the time.
