...Omniturn themselves in Oregon were better to deal with.

Neil,

That was not me. I've owned my Omniturn for almost a year. For a
home shop machinest, the Hardinge CNC attachment works great. I don't
need a fully enclosed machine, air collet closer, bar feeder, etc.

Buying machinery off ebay is very risky. Ebay does have a $20,000
protection plan for industrial machinery IF the seller lists the
machine in the correct category. You have to be very patient to find
the right machine at the right price - I looked for over a year.

Before buying anything, check with the mfg to be sure support and
parts are available. Otherwise you may end up with a one-ton paperweight.
