Hey Jim,

I would trade all four of my lathes (5"EncoCNC, 10" SB, 13"
Turnmaster, 15" Clausing-ColchesterCNC) for one manual 18" Dean Smith
& Grace, or Harold's Graziano (no matter what size). Either one of
those will do all that the "little" ones can do because they will
handle the higher RPM's, and the "feel" is fantastic!!

Remember the old ad.... "Try it! You'll like it!!"

Hmmmm....Maybe even for a TOS S50!

Take care.

To put this in perspective, jump at the opportunity to run an Axelson lathe
should it present itself. Or a Mori-Seiki, Monarch, or Pratt &
Whitney---all of which are heavy duty industrial machines ...

Hmm. To do that, it would mean building an entire new house and
shop to install the industrial machines.

Is that really *worth* it?

:^)
