My cheap heart really gets a thrill when I can get used stuff, Chinese or otherwise for a fraction of new. The only major machine tool I have that was bought new was my HF 4x6 bandsaw. And amazingly i think my SIL bought it for $180 40yrs ago and they are not much more than that now.
my hesitation with all used lathes no matter where they are made is parts. If they are cheap enough that off sets the caution. But is it just me but doesn’t it seem like CL prices have taken a jump as overall number of items have gone down?
