Bob, are you looking for a replacement motor? if it's for the mini-lathe I might be able to point you in the right direction for discount spares - and indeed discount imported lathes! Hugh

Nice to hear Chester getting some good press for customer service for a change!

I would not put that combination together in general. You need a big machine to plough out heavy cuts, but that does not necessarily mean they are more accurate ;) I have to admit to roughing out with the Centurion and finishing on the Taig, but it simply depends on the size of the job. While a Bridgeport would be nice as you say "you learn more from working with a machine with limitations" and in general can still achieve the same level of accuracy.

The Chester machines need a little persuasion to perform well which for me has been part of the 'learning curve' :) ( and the service does seem to be improving )
