Looking For Best Mini Lathe - Money No Object!

[hanermo]

So the best is the schaublin, and the second best is the wabeco.
In class of small lathes, price not issue but quality, under 300 kg, for smallish parts.

Does anyone have prices ?

I looked for the schaublin prices but could not find anything.

Im in europe, but for these price levels of machinery you can get it shipped from anywhere to anywhere, shipping is relatively cheap.

Anyone have a price list for schaublin ?

Anyone know of any other high-precision small lathes ?

You could probably email these folks for pricing on Schaublins-

As for other high precison small lathes take a look at Emco (not Enco). They also made some very nice small mills (as mentioned earlier).

Finding something in the price range of your initial post that will realistically hold half a thousandth is going to be a tough row to hoe. Keep in mind many manufacturers claims to accuracy (especially lightweight machines) are given under absolutely ideal conditions and rarely could they consistently achieved. IMHO...

Here's a schaublin 102 :

The price is without VAT. : 7500 Euro.

The txt is in dutch and it doesn't say what's included for the price.
I even doubt it's new, it could be revised.

I worked on schaublins, back in school, and IMHO they are the best.
