[TheForge] grizzly high precision tool room metal lathe

[sos at frii.com]

I'm pretty strongly in favor of used industrial quality tools over Asian
imports. Just one person's opinion...
There are some really nice tools available, if you aren't in a hurry and
have enough experience to wait for a good one. There is also some real
junk, you have to have some smarts in looking. It sounds like this would
fit very well with your plans. I'd listen to your experts.
