Whats everyones opinion on these lathes? How do they compare to Grizzly and other lathes commonly used by gunsmiths? Just curious. My buddy just got one.

If they are tight and all there, they are a standard....if not, they are expensive to fix up.

The ones I have worked on were very stiff machines easy to get good results with.I think they are made in Spain.
