all of which, are 25 year+ older than me. All will hold a .001 tolerance, and all have the flaking on the table worn... Properly trammed, they're beautiful.

They must take good care of their stuff. This place does to a point, if it cost 6-figures to purchase. Other machines get neglected. Thay have what was a sweet old Mori-Seiki engine lathe, but the way oiler doesn't even work. So you can guess how smooth and accurate it is. The collet closer needs to be tossed. But hey! it still makes chips, don't it?!
