Hi guys,
I have found an Enterprise 10 x 24 lathe, it's something that should fit in our small shop until we build the new shop, but I have only been able to find a few threads about this company, and can find no documentation at all on it. I found a few people who said they have manuals scanned and I have PM'd them, but some haven't been active for a few years...and no replies.
I have found it is made in India, the larger lathes seem to get favorable comments, but they are the monsters...wondering how these little lathes are for quality? I imagine parts are no longer available so hopefully this one is in good shape. Heard they may have used cast gears and have read they may be of questionable quality. This machine is almost a 2 day drive away so I would like to know as much about it as possible before making a commitment.
So, anyone with experience with these, or have documentation you could email me?
Please and thanks.
Cheers
