Happy Monday everyone
I am just about done agonizing over ordering a PM Lathe and getting ready to just pull the trigger. 1440GT, I'll be getting the VFD conversion through Mark.
I would like your opinions on chucks please:
8 inch 3 jaw set-tru
Bison, made in Poland
TMX, made in Poland
PBA, confused here from what I have found some are made in England and some are made in Czech Republic
Buck, Looks like these are now made in Taiwan
Gator, China
I would your input on these, as of now I'm just about thinking to suck it up and get the Bison but the TMX looks good as well with just a minor amount of additional TIR, I have done a little price shopping and if the chuck is less the plate is more and vise versa.
One more: Aloris or Dorian??
Thanks for any input you will share.
This is an awesome site and I have found a wealth of info here.
