[Icom] Icom IC2720H, has anyone seen them yet???

Thu, 4 Jul 2002 19:18:12 -0700

Thanks for all the advice fellas.

I'd been to the mini-lathe.com site already, but frankly I'm more trusting
of this scruffy group of ragamuffins. One man's opinion doesn't carry the
weight of several. Don't get me wrong, the site's a big help too.

I'm looking at something I can use here in my attic shop without too much
worry. I know rigidity is measured by the ton, but tons aren't in the
program. I don't want to go R-8. WAY overkill for this low of HP/small of a
machine anyway, not to mention the weight goes RIGHT up.

For the money, I'm thinking it might be the ticket.

If I go with the "micro" with the Morse #2 taper, I'll need 2 sets of
collets. #2 is pretty wimpy anyway.

At some point, I'll have a dry shop with a real (8" thick or better slab)
floor, but for now I have to "watch my weight".

When I get a real shop with a real floor, watch out!
