Anyone own a Proxxon lathe?

Hey JM,

I don't own a proxxon lathe, but I do own a Proxxon miter saw and table saw. They both are of high quality, and work very well. I spent roughly 2 months researching both items and found that Proxxon produces a very quality product. Plus their warranty and customer service are top notch. 

If I needed a lathe of smaller size I would purchase it from Proxxon. TMHO

The three different small lathe's all have high marks throughout all areas of operation.

Hello. If the table saw can do miter cuts, why did you get the miter saw? Thanks.

I had the miter saw first....and for multiple 30,40 and 45 degree cuts a miter is much quicker and easier.

I had a Proxxon PD230/E Quality was good but it was metric which I found annoying. I sold it and bought a Sherline and never looked back since. I now own 1 Sherline lathe and 3 Sherline mills ans I find the quality of Sherline products flawless and their wide range of accessories to be a great incentive. I am currently scratchbuilding a 1/18th scale Baja race buggy so I invite you to check out my facebook page under "Cancino Modelismo" where you will see tons of pics of my tools in use.

I agree about the quality of the Sherline.  I bought a bigger Chinese lathe because I wanted to tackle a bigger project than feasible on my Sherline, but I kept the Sherline (with the milling attachment) as a mill and for small work where the quality of the Sherline will be needed.
