Re: Lathes and so forth.

Robert,
To put things into perspective, check out the price of their mini-lathe.
Then take a look at this:
http://tinyurl.com/326sen and I know for a fact, that the very nice
'harryuk' will let you have it for £260 off eBay.
If it's a multi-purpose machine that you want, this has to be 30-35% below
normal retail price:

Do you really want 30% or more of your money to go on showrooms, sales
assistants, glossy brochures, vans, offices and so on? If not, then perhaps
you should consider either second-hand (take an expert with you) or try the
importer above. You'll save yourself a packet that can go towards tooling.

Hi folks,
I am just starting out. I have been looking at the Clarke Lathes that are
available from Machine Mart. Now am I using bad language by mentioning
them?

I'm looking at the CL500M Metal Lathe/Mill Drill. Any opinions?

Cheers,

Robert.
