Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Taig CNC mill

Hello Alan
Off context: (With the Enco catalogue there are some cheap and
reasonable things
(3 inch vice excellent = 86$) but frequently they sent us before (6-4
years ago)
not the complete order and a lot of their things are taiwanese scrap.
(combination sheet metal bender twists with 1/16" aluminium sheets.
We went to MSC => Good service)

Präzi you find in many catalogues but what I have seen recently in
en exhibition room back in old Germany was some other brand. (sloppy)

A friend back there had a lathe we put Christmas (1987) on the kitchen
table
and we turned bushings for his old-timer sidecar. If I remember right
it was a Präzi and worked quite fine. But it wasn't comfortable for
threads.
The reason might be that I never came clear with lathes with electrical
stop.
I love mechanical forward backward clutches like in Graziano or
Heidenreich und Harbek.

Including for two years now I look for a small bench lathe with
nitrated bed ways
and full metric and inch gearbox. It must be accurate and rigid for
metal shop use.
Dimensions lets say 6" (150 mm) chuck, and 24" (60 cm) between centers,
50 to 3500 revs.
2-3 hp (1500 to 2000 Watt), weight not more than 250 Kg.

Until now I didn't find something appropriate.
Has anybody suggestions?
