Actually,you CAN go wrong with any Asian machine. Hasn't happened to me yet. Numerous stories of sand left in machine internals,all kinds of stuff. My NASA machinist friend spent good bucks on a Jet 14" lathe and got it moved into his basement. Then,he discovered that the apron was chock full of shavings and other crud. He had to send it back,which cost money,and ended up buying an even more expensive model from them which turned out o.k..
The last lathe I bought for my shop at work was made in the same factory as Jets. It did have shavings and chips in the gear headstock. I removed them with a magnetic retriever wand. Good thing I checked before running it and getting damaged gear teeth. Not seriously full of shavings like my friend's Jet,but you do need to look over everything carefully when you buy Asian.
I have a brand new Jet wet wheel sharpening machine. It stopped running suddenly. Dealers told me they often don't run right out of the box. I discovered their circuit board had press on connectors that are TRULY as thin as a beer can. The workers crack them trying to push them on. Then,they soon fail. I just soldered my cracked connector. Now,the thing has stopped again. I should have soldered them all while I had it apart. I now have a Tormak,and haven't messed with the Jet since.
