There's also another option on the 7 x ?? lathes
Get the Cummins version in a 7x12
http://www.cumminstools.com/browse.cfm/4,876.htmand then get the inch leadscrew kit from LMS
http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2383399 for the lathe, plus 50 for the leadscrew kit, plus shipping of course
Cummins has shows all over the country - I think you can subscribe and get a
list of their next sales locations.
Keep in mind, the HF is a 7x10, Cummins/Griz/Homier are 7x12, and the
MicroMark is 7x14

I want/need something more than just a drilling machine. I also want
to be able to do 2 1/2D CNC carving. Prototype cases, small signs, etc.
