:D same story down here re girlfriend at home:D They seem to be selling Profi and this is something I haven't considered yet, thank you.

Thank you for your views so far.

I've got my drill press from Optimum, does the job well, three phase motor. Hey source manufacturing in China and are quite transparent about it. One of the options. From Wabeco, I was considering D4000 model, lead screw is a must I think. I appreciate extras will come on top, I've considered this.

Hi,

not actually buying a lathe "again", it's more about the name of the thread that's been popular here. Read the majority. And still I find the information and the market is changing quite rapidly.

I'm in the market for a new lathe. Considering finding European made, not an import one. Also want a new one, don't have skills to refurbish nor to tell how good or bad the used classic example would be. Love Myfords, though. 100-150 kg, metric 3-5 k EUR. Don't want to add more features as options are limited anyways. And I reserve some budget for the tools too.

What would my options be, please?

Wabeco is in under my radar, love their 5 years warranty and they're made in Germany.

Warco is concerning for me after reading threads in this forum, plus it's Asia made and only 12 months warranty.

Emco, Cazeneuve are far off with what they refer to their basic model and respectively the budget. Similarly the lightest one from ZMM is over 700kg.

Any advices please?
