I was told that recently Daewoo became the world's number one seller of lathes. Their mills are probably the best bang for the buck out there just like the lathes. Better yet is that their product support (tech support and parts) is also some of the best I have seen. I have been in field service for over 20 years, and ran a shop with Daewoos from 1987 to 1990. We have been a Daewoo distributor in the southeast for the last 5 years and I am the service manager. I would not hesitate to buy one myself.
