[QUOTE="kc, post: 345207, member: 1010"] I ased my Brother about buying a Lathe for one of our builings and mintioned one from China. He fliped out, you buy a Lathe for our Garage I can Garentee it will be the bigest mistake you will ever make. They are junk period! All of the Lathes in his shop are from Germany. When you do work and there is no room for errors every Lathes they have can keep there work out to .00001 that not bad being the lathes are over 30 years old. He builds machinery for the Aerospace Industry. One Company in Michigan went out of Buisness and he bought two surface grinders and a Bridgport boaring mill for just over $1500. the next purchase is a Lathe. make sure it has a coolent pump. he also bought a tig/mig welder for me $500. If you buy junk, good luck! Ask Machenists in factiers about there quality. [/QUOTE]
