Here's the official word on getting metric lathes through Precision Matthews...
We can in-fact get metric-only machines but, they must come from Taiwan. The Chinese factories have a minimum quantity of 10 machines. FWIW, this is how we ended up with a cargo container of metric machines not long ago. Matt had a special order for 2. He said 2 units -which translated to 20 machines. The Taiwanese won't customize our machines the we would like (he's working on it though) but, they will ship partial orders of the items they make available...
