Hi,
I am now in need of a bigger lathe, I have been looking at buying a new Enco 12x36" bench lathe. I will also be looking to CNC it in the future, using a custom servomotor system, and Mach3Lathe.
Can an Enco owner give me some comments on quality of construction? What would the repeatability/backlash be, and can this be compensated for through a backlash nut? What are the limits of this machine?
Are there any better deals for ~$2500?
