I have read on a few sites that say that the design of the 9x20 style lathes
have an inherant set back.... Being that you can't run them for extended
periods of time without the spindle bearings over heating and causing some
sort of damage. I have been quoted a time of about an hour for maximum run
time. It didn't sound right to me but what do I know. Just thought I would
ask you guys. I am still in a toss up between the 7x14 mini-lathe from
micro mark and the HF 9x20 (maroon).
