[QUOTE="k man, post: 169008, member: 3697"] Chinese lathes are fine if you are the only person that is going to be using it and you don't crash it. Will do everything and more that a DIY'er could ever imagine. First tip is to Get that digital read out and boot it over the fence Unless you don't mind being a thou out on your final cut. I used one of several for 4 years at trade school and even though they are not as well made as your German or British you would expect in an engineering workshop I could easily pump out the same quality and presision from one of these Chinese models. just get your self a good set of quality micrometres and your away mate. There's nothing you won't be able to nock up mate. Giddy up. [/QUOTE]
