Take out a second mortgage on the house.
I know most hate the Oriental lathes, but what they hey, I asked for and received two quotes on shipping for a couple of lathes, and I thought I'd share them with you cats.
1. Grizzly Model 709, a 14x40" weighing about 1550 pounds with stand. I was quoted $3300 for a terminal pickup, or $3600 for a residential delivery.
2. Monarch 16x54" made during WWII, a monster and a Serious Machine at 5480 pounds. Are you ready? $12,380.12 from Austin, Texas to Bethel, Alaska 99559.
AAAnnnnnnddddd....the machines cost the same. No shit. $5000.00.
HHHhhhhhmmmm...which one should I go with?
