Evening all,
Is is it just me, as a single grumpy aging curmudgeon ,or is any one else bummed out by the fact that the average Chinese sourced 12 x 36 & 14 x 40 class of lathe is not improving in quality.
To my eyes the manufacturing quality of this type of lathe in this nitch has decreased not improved. I am talking basic quality in construction,not the bolt on accessories. Its was GKR pics that put the bee in my bonnet.
The turdite should at least fill those knicks gouges and tears that should not even be present there in the first place.
While not seeking to embarrass GKR at all about his lathe it seems to me that after a decade or more of manufacture some basic manufacturing quality standards should exist.
There should have been in the last decade some marked evolution in the quality of these units.I thought we were going places after hardened bedways but obviously we are slipping back.
The importers need dragging around by their half nuts for not monitoring what they sell.
If we don't let the importers know they will never seek to ask their manufacturers for better quality machinery.
If you were setting some standards what would you ask for:
More rigidity ?
Better casting quality
Much improved QA and QC
Lets hear your thoughts gents.Tell us what you dislike and what you would want to see improved.
