Rebore on a mini-lathe!!!
#15
Is it still on the pallet ,Charles ?
Does it have the ainjest? quick threading attachment?
They used to call the Dean Smith and Grace the Rolls-Royce of lathes.
I would agree with Reckless,in buying a lathe it depends what you want to do with it. Years ago I machined some oil buttons up on an ML7 with a vertical slide but wouldn't want to repeat the experience nowadays.
Myfords are ok for small work but are hard work turning much steel.Pathetic spindle bore hole too.
My recommendation for an all round lathe would be a Harrison L6, but buy the latest model you can find
