Right now I am looking for a new lathe under $4,000. I am looking at the PM1236 with the preferred package as I said before. But, say that I come up with a way to have $10,000 to $14,000 for a new lathe, what do any of you know about these Baileigh Precision lathes. It looks to me that the Baileigh E models (economical) are cheaply made in China, and the Precision models are made in Taiwan. They say that the Precision models have Meehanite® castings, and factory installed Mitutoya DRO on all the precision models.
