Oh here we go again.... China / low cost = junk, but 100 year old USA lathe that is worn out and too heavy to move without a forklift = Good. Have you ever turned a 8x12 on and taken a cut - you might be suprised?? Will it work for everything - no - but niether will a craiglist special. I had one - luckly I didnt loose too much when I sold it to the scrap steel yard.
