I bought a lathe last year to replace my very old Lang lathe, I hope I didn't go overboard! It's a Taiwanese TopTec precision lathe C6256 2M gap bed and 80mm spindle bore with 2 axis Dro and a taper turning attachment. I took it to work for a while as a young lad we had working there drove the work truck into the work lathe and shunted it out the wall, almost into next doors yard. It took around 4 weeks to repair the lathe, and we had some very urgent work needed to be machined. I was working as a Hydraulics machinist/fitter until my heart attack in October last year. The lathe is now at my home. Still trying to set up my little workshop in my shed 12M x 6M, and it is crowded with the lathe, a cylindrical grinder, surface grinder, shaper, and a large mill, and ancillary equipment. I will post more pictures later of my setup.
