    what lathe to buy?

    Hi, I am a small garage shop and are now looking for a cnc lathe. I have been looking at the CNC Masters, Micro Kinetics, and the Bolton lathes. Does anyone have and comments on any of these? Or would I be better off getting a used Romi, Trak or something similar. Thank you ED

    Ed, I've used 2 bridgeport ezpath lathes (ROMI) and they are the easiest lathes I've ever programmed. I would buy one of those before the unknown. I can write a complex program in about 10 minutes. have fun shopping
