Also note the High Torque versions of the Sieg Lathes have induction hardened ways. I am very impressed with my LMS purchases, and the follow up from LMS is extremely help full. I had an issue with my LMS Mill 3960 as I could not find the draw bar for the R8 Arbors. Roger got back to me and said it was included in my original shipment, sure enough, after more searching I found it. Things not in use here are packaged in Plastic containers like Baker Boxes, we had a flood in our basement and since then I have Gone out of my way to ensure nothing will get wet again. We rectified the problem, Back Flow valve was installed backwards. Even still once bitten twice shy. The plastic boxes keep everything dry, dust free and SWARF resistant. All the LMS High Torque machines use Japanese bearings, Hardened ways, All metal Gears. LMS has a wide range of GEARS I purchased the entire set Imperial and Metric for my Lathe. Plus I purchased the Quick Change Tool Post as well, this is a real Time Saver.
As a Side Note, finding Metric Drills in Canada is difficult unless you only want standard metric sizes like 1, 2, 3, 4 ETC. I ended up ordering my tapping drills and reamers directly from China the 5 qty was cheaper then qty 1 from a Canadian Distributor, and more accessible then the availability and searching here in the frozen North of Edmonton.
