There was quite a discussion on another group awhile back. The economy minded supported the Homier 7x12. The members that had purchased the Micro-Mark 7x14 were very pleased with that lathe. It is over twice the price of the Homier at $629, so the buyer needs to determine what they want, and just how much extra features are worth. I paid $895 for a 7x14 made in Taiwan a couple of years ago. Same basic design as the Micro-Mark but better built yet than the Chinese units. If there were an American made version, it would be priced in four figures.

The Homier and Micro-Mark lathes both come out of the same factory. The Micro-Mark has a longer bed, larger motor, spindle tach, "true inch" cross slide and compound leadscrews and a cam lock tailstock. The individuals that already had a Homier or Grizzly 7x12 or a Harbor Freight 7x10 reported that they felt the Micro-Mark was better finished, out of the box. Micro-Mark carries several accessories for 7x series lathes, For Homier, you currently have to get the accessories from one of the other vendors.

Both Homier and Micro-Mark have had good reports for after sale support, especially in cases where there was damage in shipment. Homier has both online ordering with a shipping charge and traveling tool shows with no shipping charge. The traveling shows seem to have only a couple lathes at each show, and it's first come, first served. Micro-Mark has a 10% off sale every few months ( I wait for those when there is something I want from them).
