If parts and service are important, Jet and Grizzley are at the top of the list with the low cost import machines. With anybody else cheaper I'd do some serious investigation on what happens if something goes wrong or you need a part before you bought from them.

If you can stand some higher prices, companies like

, and come into play.

Whether you really get a better machine with those companies than Jet or Grizzley I'm not sure, maybe someone else can comment on that.

Good luck-

facility last week. I am fairly impressed with their newer items. The better stuff is coming out of Taiwan and looks like real quality. If you are interested in a Jet or Wilton lathe let me know as I have access to the "scratch & dent" disposal and could probably get you a pretty nice machine for less then dealer's cost.
