[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1631461, member: 24284"] Look at the Jet Elite Series or maybe the Precision Mathews. I'd take a machine tool built in Taiwan over one from mainland China any day.. The 'newer' lathes will be metric capable, if that's any concern. Much of the 'older' American iron is not. Besides gunsmithing on a part time basis, my full time job is as a "job shop machinist". Besides setting-up/running the CNCs, I run a 20x96 Summit that was made in Yugoslavia. It's OK, I guess, but it's no Monarch. [/QUOTE]
