Both of these machines were made in China. The Turnmaster is a poor
copy of a English Colchester and the Mazaks are made in China for the
Japanese Mazak company. They may deny this just like they denied
making the one Mazak lathe I have had. I wouldn't touch either of
them. If you want a lathe like that look at Harrison, Leblond,
Colchester or Mori Seki. Leigh@MarMachine
