Lathe purchase advice sought
I need a lathe with a little larger capacity than the Sherline that I've been
using for a while, but don't have very much of a budget for buying a replacement. Several months' worth of patient scanning of local advertising has not panned out, so it's looking like I'll need to buy new. I'm considering the following, any of which would be large enough for my needs for the forseeable futu http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=22082712 http://www.grizzly.com/products/7-x-...al-Lathe/G8688 http://www.micromark.com/MICROLUX-7X...ATHE,8176.html http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93212 Any of these that I should *not* be considering? Any others that I *should* be? Things to be aware of with any of the above? All advice is gratefully appreciated. *Good* advice will be further appreciated with a cold bottle of homebrewed porter (if you can come to Indianapolis to get it). TIA... |
