New Asian lathe.

[bigman1]

I have been considering importing an Indian lathe to the UK. The prices seem remarkable.The range of Indian lathes is very good,you can get an old school flat belt lathe up to cnc. As to the quality i have no experience. I am looking for a medium size gap bed lathe that will pass at least 2" through the spindle,high spindle speed is not important. If anyone has any experience of importing an Indian lathe or other machine tool,i would be pleased to have the feed back. I originally considered a Chinese lathe but the prices have risen with the quality. Thanks. Ronnie.
