Re: Chinese Lathes.

--- Jerry,
I think you have to sensible in what to expect from this equipment, if
yo pay your $800 and expect a Hardinge then you deserve to be
disappointed.
My whole shop is built around these machines and I accept the
limitations of my mill drill and work accordingly.
Looking at UK live steam mags the guys over there are making beautiful
models using Chinese or Taiwanese equipment.
