The quality varies from machine to machine, but from
what I have seen and heard, has steadily gotten better
over the last few years. The new ones are usually very
good right out of the box, although they still require
some adjustments and TLC for best performance.
The early Homier lathes were from a different
manufacturer. The good ones are pretty nice, but I
heard that they had a lot of QC problems and I believe
that was a factor in why Homier switched to the Sieg
brand.

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.
