I think the dropros one is the same lathe. Both are Seig C6s (I am pretty sure, not a C8). Looks like the Weiss has a 1.5 HP brushless motor instead of brushed 1 HP, but no additional tooling besides 3 jaw chuck. Also 1 year warranty instead of 3 and shipping is extra. I think something that comes across every machinists mind, regardless of how big their machines are is: "Damn, shoulda gone bigger."I have a 1030v and its ok. I need bigger! I believe that the Weiss 10x30 that Dropros sells is similar. They have a decent manual on the site that is downloadable and lists lubricants and the holes to put them in.
