I believe that these are industrial lathes made in Asia. Like any used machine tool, it could be in excellent condition or it could be completely worn out. But I think it's possibly a decent machine. Consider the question, "HOW MUCH IS A FORD F-150 WORTH?" You instantly realize that without knowing a whole lot about it - how old it is, how worn out it is, if it's ever been crashed, if it has all its parts - you couldn't even give an approximate answer, and the only meaningful answer (somewhere between $25 and $35,000) isn't much help to anyone.

Got a handy local Shenwai dealer? Stan |
