I'm interested in some information on this lathe. Is it a well made lathe? Does it have any bad points and does any one know about what it weighs? I haven't been able to get any information on it. Anything will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jr

yeah,they are a pretty decent machine & alot better than those cheap imports...main thing you want to look at is condition & whether or not it is banged up...check how much slack is in travels & wear on ways & in head & tailstock...if you can,pull top off gearbox & check gears too.otherwise try each gearrange & listen closely.worn gears will be noisy...not sure bout weight as there were quite a few different models.will be quite heavy though...
