Very nice...probably exactly what I need...

I swear everytime I go to a machinist sale - it's either wood lathes or heavy duty stuff that's on sale - never the small bench-top stuff....

Will just have to wait to get lucky...almost got a basic 110v lathe with 1/2" or 5/8" chuck I think it was about 6 months ago used for $199.00- someone beat me to it on Craigslist.

I actually make my own Deore HB-M525 axles out of generic M10s - cause it's so damn hard to get the distributors to understand that it's not an M9. Even with the correct Shimano part#, they'll get it wrong.
