I can appreciate your concerns completely and had for some months
prior to purchasing a Homier 7X12 been paralyzed due to same. Any of
the 7X1x lathes will be somewhat deficient if real precision is to be
expected. The choices really come down to $$$; a Homier at about $360
delivered, a Lathemaster at over $700 delivered, a Prazzi at some low
to mid thousands of dollars, or a Myford at over $7000 in this size
class.

I realize a new lathe needs to be adjusted and tweaked but yall are
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.
