That MM lathe just went on sale for $499 until Feb 1.
If you are considering a 7X, (I would) this is the Cadillac.

Are you sure about that?

I just noticed an 8" X 12" at Harbor Freight. It seems to be about

(The metric threads may be a problem though).

And are any of these really a better deal than that Logan #400 9 inch
