Hi Everyone,
I had been looking for a small production lathe for some of the projects here and I found this guy.

The main problem for me was the fixed drill chuck on the tailstock.
I found a local supplier for a new product which is a drill chuck or a 3 jaw scroll on a bearing system which allows free rotation of a chuck.
These American Made lathes are available anywhere and provide killer functionality for less than $700 new. The rotating chucks are around $300 you can find them here www.zlivecenter.com.
Im curious to what your thoughts were on this machine and its functionality. The factory can step down the controller for you to slow the rotation speed range as well.
Thanks,
Adam
