Sup y'all.
First post here, signed up a few days ago, but been reading for months. Lots of great info here.
So, thinking about getting a 7x mini lathe and decided that the brushless motor is a feature I really like.
That narrows the choices to LMS 7x12 and Microlux 7x16.
I can't imagine why I shouldn't get the 7x16. Shipping included, the 7x16 is ~$40 cheaper.
The only drawback I see is that there are no "kits" for CNC conversion for the x16. CNC is down the road for me, like a year or more. I don't see why I couldn't come up with a way to machine what I need for the conversion.
Then I look around the web and haven't seen any thread on the 7x16.
Is it just because they are new to market?
Why no 7x16 love?
