Found an interesting article on lathes.

Thought this might help those looking at buying a lathe. A good bit of info. (That VB lathe has always had my attention but at 9k it's a dream for now)

Interesting, he pirated my photo of my Studly (Stubby) without a photo credit! Darn!

Nice find. Anyone looking for a lathe should also take a look at Neal Addys table of lathe specifications. It's comprehensive.

Thanks Roger and thanks to Neal too. I'm going to be in the market as soon as my Quad sells.

No mention of Robust... I'm surprised.

And stealing pictures is bad form... :(

In the article by Neal, there is info in several Robust's. They're in alphabetical order.
