Hi,
All of the lathes here are "imported" machines. The only thing
HF sells that isn't imported is time. You can find a nice used Made
in America machine on eBay or local auctions, but it might take a bit
of time and many are true "labors of love" - in the best sense of the
phrase.
OK what size lathe or work do you plan on doing? Many are here to
help!
Take care,
DBN

Hello all, I have a shop but not a lathe. Is the Harbor
Freight lathes
really ok for light duty beginning work like brass knobs and
slotting
some brass etc.? My work arounds are driving me nuts and it's time
to
get a lathe. I have some huge heavy duty woodworking machines, case
iron, and I am reluctant to get any of the import machines.

I plan to make some knurled knobs, an inch or less in dia. and some
lens mounting flanges not more than three inches. A 7x12 would be
large enough to cover what I plan to do. Which brand is better or are
they all made in the same manufacturing plants. I live a hundred
miles from Grizzly Imports too, but only a couple of miles from a
harbor freight store.
