Hi Guys,

I have the option of purchasing a South Bend Heavy 10 with D1-4 Chuck or a
Clausing 5914 lathe. Both are tooled about the same and price is about
equal ($2,600). Which is more rigid and would be considered a better lathe?
I am a hobbyist but want to purchase a commercial quality lathe. Would I be
better off passing on both and looking for a larger more rigid model?

Thanks afor the help.

Joe
