27 forum posts	Seriously considering a Weiss 'benchtop' (i.e. step up from mini) lathe. Any experiences? Specifically, looking at the 250V . It's an MT4-spindled, 750W single phase motored, variable speed job. The more I use my Sieg C3, the more jobs I find that won't fit, or I wish I could rough the metal faster...

They are similar to the Warco/Chester/RDG/Engineers toolroom/ Amadeal/ Optium/etc as they are all the similar basic lathe but spec and build can vary a bit between them. I've got the Warco 280VF and am happy with it. The Torque can drop a bit when turning large diameters at slower speeds eg 9" iron castings but mine will take 0.100" depth of cut in 1" steel bar.
