Re: Mods, was Different Prices - such a range!
I have a 7x14 and on a couple projects a x16 would really have come in handy. Using a live center in the tailstock really eats up space. On the x14 with a center in the tailstock I made a new 10 3/4

Re: Different Prices - such a range!
Sounds about right. The $729.95 that I said mine cost included the $65 extra shipping charge they tacked on. So the lathe was 664.95 without the extra shipping charge on top of the regular shipping

Re: Different Prices - such a range!
Hmmmm, are you sure about that year (2006) for a 7x16? I was looking for a mini lathe and I recall Micro-Mark releasing the 7x16 in the spring/summer of 2010. Micro-Mark was the only place that was
