Steve 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.htm and then get the inch leadscrew kit from LMS http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2383 399 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 Randy > I bought a 9x12 from Enco a few years ago, but have been too flat > busted to do anything about it.
