The thing is, that a lot of these machines look the same, but are built to different standards. The forerunner of most of the cheap lathes was the Emco Compact 10: http://www.lathes.co.uk/emco/page7.html My cheap Indian knock-off of the cheap Chinese knock-offs of the original German design is not very nice at all, but it could have been OK if it had been built by someone who had ever seen a lathe before. I think that there are some people on this list who have links with Smithy and are keeping quiet to retain impartiality. The trick is probably to make sure you have a look at the machine in the metal, and twiddle the knobs, before comitting. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
