I'm looking for a smallish-sized lathe, and have heard the name Clausing mentioned a lot on this forum.
I'd like to do some research on the years/models/features for their lathes. Is there a book or website that has all this info in one place?
What other models should I consider?
I know absolutely nothing about lathes (only used one in college a few times), so I need to get up to speed on them. Maybe one of the Workshop Practice Series Books would be helpful?
In addition to the size of the lathe, the only other thing I can think of needing is cutting metric threads and working in metric sizes generally. Any hurdles with this on any of them (aside from having to convert from English to metric)?
Thanks for the help.
