[QUOTE="Sgt. grizz, post: 1686142, member: 106784"] I have worked on several lathes and I agree with you about the swing, headstock spindle bore etc. if I buy a used lathe it can not be worn out because I’m very particular about accuracy, I want my stuff to be spot on. The only reason I was thinking of a grizzly or PM at first was because it would be new, if I bought it used it would have to run sae and metric. I want to buy a quality lathe or something cheaper $5,500 or less. I figured I’d be buying a new high quality lathe in about three years, I just need something to get me by until then. I’m going to work towards getting a Cnc lathe and mill after several years but I need to go to school or Intern somewhere to learn how to run one and write programs. [/QUOTE]
