I've seen (first hand) but not operated the Myford, no doubt lots of
fine work gets done on them, no doubt at all. But if it were me & my
money, I wouldn't get less than a 10" swing.

My short list of lathes is quite short: The Prazi II Apollo D2400DLX
and the
Prazi II Apollo D6000, both equipped with 2 axis DRO's.
I am looking at price range here of approx.$5400 to $7400 for what
are "hobby lathes".

Are the machines good, bad, indifferent?
What might be better options?


I think a new Myford lathe might be a better option.
