[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 546118, member: 25383"] Double Ought!! I saw one once. Ever see an Ought Warner Swasey chucker? I don't think the B&S machines are built anymore, and they can be a nightmare to put back together. I personally would look for a Traube or a Davenport. Greenlee would be too expensive. Another interesting little bar feed lathe you might find is a Swiss Pattern. I think the max they'll handle is .50 steel. The spindle head will neeed a rebuild every year with hard usage in steel, and even then it's not hard to do. Still I hate them! A Davenport or a Traube is a much better machine, but you can buy five or six of them for the price of a good screw machine gary [/QUOTE]
