The first lathe I bought was a pre 1920 Boyes and Emmes but it is a quick change and cuts just fine .It's just such of a thrashing machine of a lathe I don't use it that much .However at 20 by 48 I can cut the brake drum on a semi if I have to .For 225 bucks and 8,000 pounds I could get my money back if I only just scrapped it ,which of course I'm not going to do .
In addition to that thrasher I have a Monarch 10" EE ,none finer were ever made
A little side track,no big deal .
