Curious to see what it would cost to replace my old, beat-up ML-7
with the latest Super 7 model, I called Blue Ridge Machinery, and got
a quote of "$9900, $10,500" I was too shocked to ask what the two
different prices were for..

Are these lathes THAT much better than the typical $2000 Taiwan-made
units?


If you wait 50 years and pick one up second hand, the price will probably be
quite reasonable.
