I've not seen anything suitable when I have looked. I have enough problems anyway. A decent ML10 to put together and sell, a precision Boley with good slides and some attention needed to bearing adjustment and by the look of it a mini lathe to sell as I have found something more suitable for a 2nd lathe. From 2 Pulta's I should get 2 decent ones, I thought it might be one and one OK one. John -
