When you get angry, you can just bang your head against the bubble wrap and save your noggin.

Floor looks dirty, but that's actually remnants of the glue left behind where I pulled up the linolium(sp). You could eat of my floors

Yeah, but make it fit a deluxe in 6hrs or less. I have the same tailstock on my Microlux lathe, but it doesn't have the magic base that Chris's has......
The centerline height is different also, so before saying that they have the same item, please reference yourself before misleading people.
