What are the limitations of a hydraulic turret style tailstock monarch EE, without a threading gearbox? We need a decent manual 12 x20 size lathe, and the prices of standard round dial EE's are going to prohibitive till the end of time. We have a cnc Mori for the daily stuff, but need a manual once everywhile for the simple bushing etc... Lacking the threading gearbox, will it not have any semi-auto feeds? Any other limitations that I may regret after spending many hours on a regular EE with a normal single tailstock.
