Hello. This is my first post after joining very recently. I initially joined the site to seek others that shared in my seemingly unique problem/condition. The symptoms included loss of sleep, annoying the wife with "lathe & machine speak", the 1000 yard stare and other various issues. This finally culminated with a bout of "feature creep" pushing my budget to a straining point. I then realized I had a problem and joined the site. I was beyond relieved to see that others too share in my condition or syndrome.
After a brief moment of clarity and definition of my long/short term goals, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered an Eisen 1236GH in 3-Phase. The amount of research that I have performed has been exhausting across all models, marketing-facturers, speeds, feeds and then some. The included features such as DRO, taper attachment, stand, 3-phase, free shipping and on sale for < $6k pushed me over the edge...and I ordered it.
In any case, thank you all for sharing your stories of struggle & triumph, ultimately helping me through this rough period.
