Hello,
I have found two lathes and I would like an advise about which of the two you would suggest me to buy. The one is a Weiler the model "LZ 280 S" and the other is an Emco the model "Maximat V10-P". The emco I have read on the internet that are rigid machines and accurate and beside that is used most of the times has no wear bed or leadscrew but for the Weiler I didn't find many opinions on the internet.
One major thing for me is the tread cutting in metric and inches (on the emco you change just levers but on the Weiler you have to change gears sometimes).
