Hi people,
I was just about to ask Richard about keeping the place so clean !!!
Allan, I would suggest as sturdy a table as possible, since the finishing quality as you may already know, has a lot to do with machine - system rigidity.

I am the happy owner of 2 Unimats and an Emco Compact 5, all with milling attachments. I prefer the more expensive European (or US ) makes for accuracy and longevity (my first Unimat runs true since 1961).

I wish you to enjoy your new lathe as much as you can.

Greetings from a boiling Greece,

George
