I prefer Sherline myself.

I prefer Sherline myself.

space is an issue

[Dr. Cranky]

I agree with Ben. Sherline is about as small as you can get and still get a great quality tool.

I prefer real, big boy sized lathes.

[Chief Joseph]

That's a cute little machine, but a watchmaker is going to use a real European watchmakers' lathe and a hobbyist will want to use something that has more options. Sherline and Taig lathes are far and away superior to this nano lathe.

I have to agree with the Sherline. I was looking at other brands (Chinese) and settled on a Sherline, due to the preference on this board. I have had it about six months now and just love it.

I'm actually considering one. The price isn't that bad...but I would rather get one used. They're cheaper and already broken in.

[Scale-Master]

You get what you pay for, if you are lucky... Another reason I am a Sherline user.

I would really like to get a sherline lathe and end mill one day myself.

I was over at the Taig factory so to speak its in a very nice home with a large steel building on the property .you would never guess they make anything there .
