I'm in the process of trying to find a new (or nice used) engine lathe for our tool and die department. Something like a 20x60 gap bed would be perfect. Being able to pull the gap out and swing a 30" part would really come in handy every now and then.
What are some good new and used brands to check out? The "Cadillac" 22x60 lathes look nice, but I think they are just Chinese imported lathes that Webb slaps their name on. Most of the new lathes I've seen are like that. I was also looking at a new 20x60 DALIAN lathe....but it looks like a light duty import also.
Are the JET lathes any good?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
