Rob, It is about the cheapest and smallest of the Bridgy clones, Chinese of course. I couldn't fit a full sized one in my shop. But I have had it just over a year, and have yet to find anything bad to say about it, only that I love it more than my Chinese lathe, but it is a damned close contest. You wouldn't have caught me saying that a couple of years ago, but in all honesty, I took the plunge, and have never regretted buying far eastern machinery, both are great machines. Bogs |

I just got one of these and it works great so far. The 1st one was a dud and I had to send it back. The 2nd one is fine. They paid shipping both ways. I later found out they have them in the local store and I could have used the 20% coupon. Dangit! :bang: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95998 |

Do they make one for brass and aluminum? :lol: I need to get one too. Sure would beat a sign bar. Bernd |

Getting my own back now for the wooden engine fiasco. --- Quote ---Now if they could only get the magnets to work on ali and brass. --- End quote --- That was from a post of mine a couple of days ago. What's wrong Bernd, given up on reading, and only looking at the piccies? :lol: BTW, I was due to finish this post off last night, but a flat tyre on the passion wagon put paid to that. After struggling for well over an hour to change the flat (only on the bottom). Me laying on the ground controlling the jack and wheelnuts, grandson on the standing up bits, and the torch, with Bandit going ballistic all over the place, all because he has a great fetish for chasing torch beams and reflections. We must have looked like a real weird bunch. Thank goodness it was in my own driveway and not somewhere more public. I didn't feel much like going in the shop after that. Out this morning to find a replacement tyre (tire, just for you colonials). Bogs |
