I was at the NHRA Keystone Nationals yesterday and noticed in the back of one of the Kalitta semis (used to transport one of their 3 Top Fuel Dragsters)a made-in-Taiwan lathe and bench mill. This team has 3 drivers who are number 2, 4, and 5 in the national points standings and have no shortage of cash (they are sponsored by Mac Tools and West Coast Choppers, among others).
I assume that they are not machining exotic parts with these pieces, but they did appear to be getting a decent amount of use. I am very satisfied with my Heavy 10 and Bridgeport, but it does make me wonder if indeed a lathe and mill are only as good as the way they are set-up and used.
Any thoughts?
