I guess it all comes down to this: If money and space were no object, then a brand new South Bend 10" or one of the other lathes out there would fill the bill. On the other hand, for hobby/limited use, one of the bigger lathes is a considerable investment, not to mention cost of shipping and setting up such a machine. Given the small cost of these asian made lathes, even with their inherent inaccuracies, one would be hard pressed to justify purchasing a larger lathe, unless the intent is a start-up manufacturing shop, or serious production work.

getting into milling and shimming a new lathe to get it to line up
right. Is this typical for these Asian lathes. If I couldnt get one
to adjust right I would send it back for another lathe or for a
refund. I dont want to have to buy a milling machine to start taking
metal off of a brand new lathe.
