A Taig, A CNC Sherline, A Jet 920 (sucks), and my prize, a one owner 1977 10K South Bend in almost mint condition, only took me about 15 years to find my dream lathe. I do have a worn 10" Atlas and a 6" Atlas sitting in storage as well... Anyway, if you don't have a lathe, get one. You won't be sorry. It allows you to make and modify things that were impossible before. I have 4 lathes too!

I wish I had a lathe that big. I do however make up for it in quantity (as I have 4). Still, the old adage rings true, there's no replacement for displacement! OOOooooh!
