When first look at mini lathes back in 2003. At time I had a full size lathe but needed a light weight lathe for field work.?
It was for line boring heavy equipment like backhoes. Need a lathe in field to turn and bore sleeves?
Today just right for hobby work. It is light weight for moving too.?
So my vote for mini lathe size is 7 to 8 [178 to 210mm] swing.?
