Hi,
I'm a new comer to this group.
My major turning jobs were in the RC aircraft modeling as well as
in the
electronics mechanical side. I'm a retired hobbyist, and none of my
activities is aimed for profit making.
So far I've been using my DB200 Unimat lathe, which is absolutely
not an
accurate machine, not mentioning its age (I bought it in the early
60s).
I would like to have your opinion regarding the suitability of a
Chinese
7x12 mini lathe as a replacement to the Unimat.
Thanks for your cooperation.

HI, I've had my 7x12 for about two years. I've seen alot of people
slam the chinese lathes onthis site. But for the money, these little
machines do a really good job. As long as you take a couple light
finishing cuts they hold tolerences really well. I use mine in a
small parts machine shop business, along with a 14x40 and a couple
mills and other assorted machines. So I get daily use out of them
and have had no problems. I've been pleased with mine and would
suggest it to anyone....GORDY
