I have always liked the Porper Lathes.
Every time one came up, I was as usual, a day late and a dollar short.
Now that I have a Deluxe and another Hightower, a proto type lathe that Lee sold me for shafts and finishes, I'm pretty much set.
Definitely in the future, going to look into turning the second Deluxe into one of Todd's CNC lathes.
But regardless, there is a lathe for everyone and every job out there.
