What does you china lathe pass threw bore

That why even though beth lathes have problems.

Pass threw on them is not it. For small machines the do pretty well if true

Thanks MP,

have some PMs out.

Also have talked with AZ lathes and they seem like they have a great product? Anyone in the Denver area have one that wouldn't mind me stopping by and checking out in person??

Thanks again MP!

I've been rocking a bench top AZ lathe for a couple weeks now. I like it. Seems legit and well built.

anyone use one of the az lathes to make lined tubing? i was thinking the bed might be too short to draw it down. wondering if you could still work a pull using 5inch rods.
