Does that tell me you do not ordinarily work to the precision that your
Sherline is capable, errrrr, used to be, capable of?

Life is full of choices. Given a choice, I prefer to expose the sherline
to possible wear from abrasive dust than my very nice Myford. This
way the myford is always ready for precision work.

Reguardless of what machine I use, I do my best to keep the dust
off the machine and I clean it up afterwards.

I use to have an OLD craftsman/atlas lathe that I used for cast iron work.
I have since replaced it with a very nice rockwell 11 inch lathe and
it will bother me to turn CI on it but I guess thats life.
