BTW, your initial post implied you have some experience with large
lathes. You can make the 7x12 work. I have had fair success at this
with absolutely no prior experience and that is inspite of severe
visual impairment of retina disease.
The concern with the 7x12 mini-lathe should be that, as a previous
reply stated, it is something of a pre-assembled kit which must be
reassembled. These issues are in general concerning backlash
adjustment, gib finish and adjustment, and similar items.
Also see Frank's website www.mini-lathe.com if not already employing
this valuable resource.
