Lathe & Mill Group Purchase

I've set up a new Group - SIEG-SX3-C6B - for the specific and limited
purpose of organizing a (one-time) Group Purchase of SIEG lathes and
mills from China. I think the C6B lathe and the Super X3 mill are
currently a "sweet spot" in value among home shop machines.
Unfortunately, neither in currently imported into North America.

The 10x22 C6 series is a couple of steps above the 9x20 lathes in
quality. The C6B has variable speed spindle and a form of DRO, but no
QuickChange Gearbox, and is therefore a promising candidate for ELS or
CNC fitting.

The Super X3 is a vertical, tilting, and horizontal milling version of
the X3 mini-mill and falls into a size range above the X2 micromill
and below the heavier Rong Fu mills. Several individuals are
developong kits for CNC conversion of X3 mills.
