Hello, I'm interested in Proxxon PD400 lathe,

Hello, I would like to buy this lathe, howver this video shows that the quality is really not german, more like china lathes.

Proxxon replied to me this

"Thank you for your interest in the PD 400.



The operation shown in the video is nothing to worry about. The quick-move function of the support just works mechanically by disengaging the clasp-nut. In the video this looks worse, because the support stands just in the middle position, where the lead-screw sags down most. But this is no problem.



The lead screw is precisely guided with bearings on both ends. The clasp nut serves as a guide for the lead-screw when using the quick-move function. The support itself may not change position, as it runs smoothly on the prism of the lathe bed.

The movement in the video has absolutely no negative effects on the support’s precision or the work result.

I hope this will help you to better understand what is happening here."

So there no problem?
