[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 2652876, member: 103581"] Wow is about all I can say. I won’t disagree one bit with any of the above comments. I wanted a lathe for a long time. I finally bought one and don’t regret it one bit. It is a Sheldon and was well taken care of, bought new in 1958 if I recall correctly. I am the third owner. It has done a lot of task, new and old projects. As mentioned a mill will come up sooner or later. I just acquired a small grizzly. No it is not a Bridgeport. I don’t have the room or need for one. You won’t learn any younger. Equipment and tooling won’t get any cheaper. If you think your going to save money, you need to sharpen a pencil. It falls right there with hand loading. If you think your saving money reloading you are all set to purchase your lathe. Reloading does not save me any money, it allows me to shoot more. [/QUOTE]
