Hi

I am heading to retirement and wish to spend my tiime in my workshop.

I would like to buy a small lathe and would like some advise.

I am thinking of Proxxon PD400. I have read to keep away from some models from China.

I live in Jersey so it is hard to check one against another.

Thanks inadvance

Doug
