[QUOTE="John Burns, post: 55159, member: 2164"] Chris, I used a 14X40 Nardini ( I think new cost is around $12,000)that I really liked. I think some of the stuff from ENCO is ok. One thing to remember is that gun work is really very light duty so you will have a tough time wearing a lathe out but the light duty lathes make everything harder from a lack of rigidity. If I was trying to do what I THINK you are I would buy the cheapest 14X40 I could find. I think I would prefer a heavy lathe made in China (yuck) to a lighter maybe better quality lathe made in Tiawan at the same price. Sometimes you can find a really good used lathe but you really need to know what you are looking at. [/QUOTE]
