they have a few var. speed midi lathes for $350 which seems like a
decent deal i know nothing about them but laguna has thoughtfull designs
i've been waiting for the next lathe 18|36 but seems release is running
late. but that's a good sign I think, hopefully it means they are
taking the time to make it a homerun
think I recall under $2000 for the price
