Nothing wrong with this stuff, if used appropriatley, doubt theyd do so well 24 hours a day on a 3 shift system. Could also be a clone from Taiwan,Bulgaria Romania etc.I think the forum collective decided my lathe was some sort of chinese clone, its not let me down (yet).

Mine is out of a training school, badged BSA, but its basically a warco 1440…Does what it says on the tin and came with all the bits steadies, dro etc. Had a complete trailer axle in it a few months back.It came from an engineering company, the guy retired. It never gave them any problems and it seems to be surviving its second life so it can't be that bad

A European or British lathe will last 70 year compared to 15 or so for a good Taiwan lathe. The problem is the British lathes are 80 years old !It came from an engineering company, the guy retired. It never gave them any problems and it seems to be surviving its second life so it can't be that bad

Well, mine's older than me, and in much better shape...A European or British lathe will last 70 year compared to 15 or so for a good Taiwan lathe. The problem is the British lathes are 80 years old !

I just don’t have the patience to stand in front of a lathe for days on end.
