What to look for when 10ee shopping
I am new into the machinist world. I have been researching these lathes, but I am largely inexperienced. There is a '42 10ee for sale some distance from me. Myself and another guy (more experience with machines and a 12ck owner) are going to take a look at it tomorrow. The machine still has its...- pennywise
