Do you think this thing can handle cutting titanium?

I've got really no idea. It is not an extremely rigid lathe. So if you do it very slowely it might work, but I have never tried titanium. Aluminium, copper, bronze and brass work fine.

Thanks, I was fully satisfied too with the results. This works great with very high accuracy.
Good tip from Grizzly by the way, they are not expensive. Maybe I'm going to buy a bigger lathe and then they might come in handy.
I used two digital 6" calipers (about $9 each on ebay) and some 4 mm aluminium profile from a local hardware store. Cheaper than this is impossible ;)
