Thanks for the informantion. This one is supposedly made in Brazil. I
sometimes get small parts to make and my other lathes are just a little
to big to do them efficiently. He is asking 1500 for it. I should
probably be looking for a small turret lathe since that would be more
handy for the small stuff I get called to do.
