I had a Clausing 5913 in 2002 that had been Boeing.
I chamered some rifles.

I had an Atlas 12x36.
I chambered a few rifles with it.

I had a Grizzly mini lathe and chambered a few pistols with it.

In 2009 I ordered a new PM1236 Precision Matthews with DRO. I have used it nearly every day for 12 years.

My brother hates foreign stuff, but he has had a Jet 13x40 for 20 years and cannot find anything wrong with it.

The guy at Applied Science is way smarter than me at technical stuff, and he has a Griz gunsmithing lathe for science.

I believe in imported lathes and old American mills.... follow the money.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
