Small-Medium Lathe

I would not just go off their web site if you get interested in buying from Chester. When i initially called to view a Crusader Deluxe, they were showing no stock when in fact they did have three in stock. Do a telephone check with Tony If at all interested.

Its always difficult to judge from a few negative comments on delivery which are usually the ones that get published. Its how many of those in relation to positive situations which never seem get published that matters, but unfortunately never seem to able to get quantified. You need to go off gut feeling when talking to them.

Like MalcB says,

Give Tony a call at Chester.....get them to give a firm commitment to delivery.

I've had several big machines from them over the years, 9 x 20 lathe, mini mill, Eagle 30 mill and more recently a 626 mill....no issues with delivery... Nor with accessories....all round great service.

Yes valid point , I would phone first , As its a good deal for the money, have dealt with Chester in the past no problems...............b

I suspect some people find Warco's alignment test certificates reassuring. I would - just in case.

I have a 9x20with different maker's label but it's a generic Chinese lathe that come in many variants but are all much the same. I had a few minor improvements and adjustments to make when I first got it but nothing much. Very pleased with it.
