Why not?The new Chineese lathe I bought won't be around in one hundred years.
I agree. My Asian lathe will surely be around in 100 years. Of course there will be Hendeys and Monarchs that will then be 200 years old and likely still running just fine.Why not?
I have no reason to believe that my Taiwanese lathe won't be around, other than the possibility that no one will know how to run it in 100 years.
