Default Robust Tools Lathes

There are some nice lathes at www.turnrobust.com that are on the level
of Oneway lathes. They offer 18x28 and 25x28 models and have some nice
features like stainless bed ways, big sealed bearings, a sliding
headstock, and a seven year warranty, plus they are made in the USA.
As an option, Robust features a Tilt Away which attaches to the end of
lathe and lets you slide the tailstock onto it and rotate it out of the
way. It is what I categorize as a high end lathe in the 5K price range
and certainly worth looking at.

Are there any owner's opinions out there?


Home page picture links are all broken. Most of the others seemed
okay. I couldn't find prices anywhere (maybe they were in the PDF--I
didn't bother with that--stupid way to do it anyway).

I'm unimpressed with the posting history of the OP. Reads a LOT like a
shill to me. I'll apologize if I'm wrong.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
