    SlantPro 15L in production environment

    Hello,
    I am seeking opinions from 15L owners about how well these lathes would hold up in a production environment. I own a tooling business that manufacturers custom router bits for the woodworking industry and I'm looking for a small cheap cnc lathe to compliment our other cnc equipment. I already have a haas st30 and I really like haas equipment but the used prices are sky high. Since I don't have alot of working capital yet and interest rates are high, I thought a small economical machine would fit the bill. If i got 5 years out of it, I'd be happy. What do you think?

    I know this is an older post, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. I've use my lathe (almost) everyday, for 6-8 hours a day for the last few years. It has treated me very well.

    The one in my garage was used for several years in production making Tormach ATC parts with a bar puller and air collet closer. As long as you don't ask too much of it, it does very well.
