Hello all,

This is my first post, and I apologize if this is not the proper forum for this question. I am researching the purchase of a lathe and mill machine. I want to keep the total purchase price for both at around 10k or lower.

I would like to get a collective opinion on how you experts would rank brands such as Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Jet, CNCMaster (Supra) and any other homeowner affordable /popular brands.

And if you rate one over another, could you explain why. Is it actual performance?, tolerance?, longevity?, ease of use?, service?, etc...

Thanks

Mike
