My Precision Mathews lathe arrived a couple days ago. I got it all set in place and leveled with a precision level and wired up with the help of my generous neighbor Mark who is an engineer. He made me a 1 inch by 16 inches long precision ground test bar and we put it in the 3 jaw chuck. At the chuck end it showed less than 2 tenths run out. We then put the other end in the tail stock and it again was less than 2 tenths! We were both amazed by the quality of this lathe. Mark has been in the factory in Taiwan where this lathe is made and he is the one that steered me towards buying from Matt. This machine is so quiet it's unbelievable. The videos I had watched of this machine were much louder than it actually is. Matt is great to deal with other than the time it took to get. He has offered to give me several hundred dollars with of toolmex tooling for the wait which is very generous. Thanks for looking
