I am looking to purchase a new lathe, something in the 16 x 60 size range, for making repairs on items and occasionally making new one off items. The current production machine tool world seems to be riddled with different variants of Chinese or Taiwanese machines that are difficult to wade through for what has a hope of being less or not problematic.
Can anyone offer recommendations of a good bang for the buck?
Does a manual/CNC lathe exist or would this be an animal that just doesn't do either well?
I know many will speak highly of old American iron and I can concur, but I don't have the time or patience to go through a rebuild or constant tweaking of something someone else used or abused prior.
I need to add that cost is the least concern.
Thanks
