Attached is my new (to me) lathe. It is a 7 x14 - about twice the size as the Unimat. I was long hesitant about getting a lathe like this thinking it would not be accurate. I thought about getting an "old school" lathe from 1 of the well known lathe makers. Surfing around I found some reviews. While this looks like a MicroMark lathe it is not. The reviews said it was a very good hobbyists lathe. They are available in different sizes with some different options from a few sellers (probably including MicroMark) but are made in the same far away land factory.
The person I bought it from was making gun parts from steel. He was moving up to something larger. I doubt I am going to be doing much steel work but it is good to know the lathe is powerful enough. It is still very tight and solid. If it is not accurate out it goes and on to something else! The Unimat lathe will be for sale very shortly! Let me know if you are interested.
