Does anybody have any experience of the ones supplied by ARC?

Allan,

Still enjoying this great series. Just curious, what are you using as a surface table?

Hi Bob,

I was thinking about buying one of these myself so would be very interested to know what you think of it.

Hi Geoff.

I don't find it noisy at all, quiet in fact. I did not do any stripping down at all after delivery, yes lots of cleaning of excess grease but that's all and it didn't take long. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone and I love using it.

There is only one slight change to make and that is to the support bracket that holds the chuck guard as in its delivered state it prevents use of the faceplate. I was a bit surprised at this but its very easy to overcome - no strip down involved just slight modification with a hacksaw in my case!

I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with this machine.

So would it be ok to use a hand reamer in a machine, as long as you withdrew it periodically?

A big thank you to everyone who has replied here, it really is appreciated.

On the noise issue..

Ketan, what was your own personal view of the noise when you demonstrated the machine? Compared say to your C3 and C6?

Bob and Chris, what’s the noise like on your machines?

thanks

Allan,

Very interesting thread. What lathe and mill do you use?

Hi all,

I am considering buying the SIEG SC4 lathe. Are there any owners here who could voice their opinions of this machine please?

Ketan, I read somewhere that ARC had one for evaluation but I note that it has yet to appear in your range. Was there something you weren’t happy with?

thanks
