I was looking at buying an 8" D1-4 Set-Tru Bison for my lathe but read somewhere that they are Chinese now, is that true? Where are some of the other brands made?(Buck,Pratt,etc)
Just looking for a good quality made unit, any advice?
Robert
Wondering if anyone has any experience (good or bad) with the Lathemaster 5C collet chuck in the direct mount D1-4 style? I have a South Bend Fourteen that really needs one...Of course I realize its a you get what you pay for kind of situation.
Thanks for any input, Robert
