I agree. I do not have a Sherline lathe, but its reputation is that
if you don't try to over work it the work it produces will be good.

Yeah... I even have a little Unimat on the shelf. I use it only seldom,
but I've made some nice "microscopic" parts on it. The only drawback is
that I use it so seldom, I often have to replace the O-ring belts before it
will work again!

I paid $10 for a unimat at a yard sale and a couple of years later sold it for $900 on ebay. Could have knocked me over with a feather, but the guy really wanted it and really paid for it.
