Anyone been hands on the the Sieg C4 Lathe?
« on: November 28, 2008, 10:55:27 PM »
Thinking this machine might be a good choice of upgrades, but would like feedback from users, both pro and cons. John and I discussed the machine on Skype, recently, but neither of us has had a chance to actually run one. Any comments?

Not yet. I plan to have one in 6 months or so.

I take that back. I am looking at the C6... Thats the 10x22. What is the size of the C4?? Is that the 8x14?

The C4 is an 8 x 17 configuration. A comprehensive review is offered at http://www.mini-lathe.com/m4/C4/c4.htm . The C6 is slightly longer and somewhat larger overall but, curiously, has a less powerful motor than the C4. I'm still cogitating  on this upgrade thing. I have the bucks on hand, but I want to be sure it's what I really want to do.
