[QUOTE="jethro, post: 162511, member: 1297"] Hey back creek. I worked in a job up until 3 years ago where I had access to a sheraton defiance 3phase machine. It was worn in the bed from abuse over the years but was still a great machine over short length cuts. Next place I worked had a chinese machine fitted with digital readout. I made a set of valve guides for a motorbike on that amongst other things that really showed up its limitations as far as accuracy went. I think hare & forbes machines are the pick of the bunch as far as price for features goes. I need more swing radius than length of cut 750mm between centres would be enough but a minimum of 32mm thru spindle is a must. [/QUOTE]
