They look really close, except the DroPros (Sieg SC8) has a 1" spindle bore.Guess I'm one of the few who prefers digital speed control.
That lathe looks very similar to the one that DroPros is selling. Haven't compared specs though.
The push buttons are the only thing holding me back as well. Is there an advantage to having a D1-4 camlock mount if I use a collet chuck? I plan on using collets for most of my work, so probably won't be swapping chucks very often.
I'd also like to know if the D1-4 camlock is a better arrangement than the mount on the 1127.
So Bill, you are saying that you don't prefer a cam lock mount chuck over a direct bolt chuck?Or...you could buy a plain back chuck and make your own mounting plate with your new lathe. Just a suggestion.
Same here, Matt sent me photos of that one (1228VF-LB) when I was first shopping.
Did I mention I just couldn't get over those push bottons!!
