[QUOTE="257X50, post: 2059080, member: 67903"] They are by far.......insurance is the reason. On a Hardinge Or Graziano......I probably wouldn’t do it. but I would do it on ANY used lathe...... I’m old school. Good iron lasts. The W&S 2A I run is a 1966 model. Only the cross slide has been rescraped......still can go wrong o 1/2 a thousandth.......and do 3/8 DOC all day long. As it has for two shifts a day for years. Yes.....we are kind to it. but if you have to drill a 3” hole in 410 stainless in one shot......she’s got the biscuits. Insurance..... [/QUOTE]
