A friend of mine is downsizing his shop and I bought a couple of machines from him. One was a Turn-Pro 618EVS (says made in Taiwan and is inch/metric). Not much tooling with it but I have a rather cranky (spindle drive wise) Hardinge HLV-BK (British built narrow way model) that can share with it. The clone did not appear to have been used much, still has the plastic cling on the switch panels, and no marks on the ways. Runs nice and quiet and everything seems to work. Of course there are no manuals so I am trying to figure out who made it so I can print one out before an elusive online version dissolves into random bits. Anyone know who made the lathes that were labeled as Turn-Pros and have any opinions about them?
