Dang, I hate you! G
I looked on your website and did not see a lathe. Just an Abene mill and
a drill press

Nice enough lathe for my purposes but I can see a lack of rigidity under
really heavy cuts. I wouldn't mind having a clausing with an L00
spindle instead....
I'd be more likely to find a Clausing down here.
Maybe we'll trade at some point


You do know that catruckman AT aol.com is bursting at the seams with
lathes and mills at the moment, are you not?

Costa Mesa California.

Since machine shops in California are going tits up at record
rates...lots and lots and lots of machines are available

For what it's worth, I paid $1200 for my Logan/Powermatic (12X48)

Man, I'd like to find one like that to go with my Powermatic mill.
Is it bright green? White Racing stripe?
