German? If you are going to have to use foreign tools you might as well go all the way and use swiss :wack: :) The Cromwell lathe I have has tenths verniers on all the dials. I am yet to see another lathe, German or Swiss with that, although in the last 50 years it may have lost some of its original accuracy! http://www.lathes.co.uk/cromwell/index.html |
