HL-135c CNC LATHE info

[k-man.613]

hello all! I am looking to purchase a cnc lathe to add to my collection of tools. It has been hard finding something the right size and price but i have found something i am interested in. The manufacturer is Hou Mau. the Machine is called the HL-135c, CNC lathe.

The machine is from www.machinetoolswarehouse.com. Has anyone from here delt with them before?

I would love to hear someones opinion of the machine, if they have seen one in use? have seen the brand in use for another machine? has delt with the people and www.machinetoolswarehouse.com? Everything seems fine so far but i would like to try and research the product a bit before purchasing.

The machine can also be viewed at
TAIWAN HOW-MAU CNC MACHINERY, Mini Milling Machine, Desktop Lathe, -- CNC Lathe Machines

Any advice or help would be great!

While I have not dealt with Hou-Mau, I have purchased a machine from MachineToolsWarehouse. They were very good to deal with. The only thing to note is the shipping time can be long. By this I mean that my machine took a few months to get here. This is due to MTW ordering by the container from China and the shipping times involved. If MTW has the machine in stock you would not have that issue. They were very good in arranging a lift gate truck to drop off my MD-001 mill at my house. I have not seen anyone that can beat MTW's price (in Canada).

In my case, a year after getting the MD-001, it still sits in pieces in my basement waiting for me to finish CNCing my lathe

I bought a manual mill from MTW, and would recommend them without reservation.
