More on this price thing. I bought that 7x10 for just under $300 in
the
early 90s. I paid $130 for the DB200 in 1958. According to the official
US
government inflation calculator, the buying power of 130 1958 dollars
equals
that of 431 dollars in 1990. The bare bones 7x10 is 20 times the
lathe the
Uni is. It does lake the ability to be turned into a mill/drill,
though.
Let's be fair.

MUCH MUCH more!!!
but
keep in mind.. no variable speed control (all belt speeds)..
and I dont
think there is a lead screw reverse lever.. (only if you run
chuck in
opposite direction)
(without tumbler gear or whatever)
Go to
fignoggle.com to see comparrison pics of the 7x vs the 8x.. The 7x
is like
a shoe bow!

The HF 8x14 now on sale for 699. With 20% coupon that
reduces to 560.
The 8x14 is much more machine than the
7x.
