Probably should have posted this a long time ago. Too often you only hear the negatives. I bought a lathe from MSC maybe 4-5 years ago?? Anyways, I got it and when I checked everything it was not cutting a consistent thread helix. I measured up the lead screw and that was not the issue. Most likely it was one gear that was the issue, but not a simple thing to check. After a few calls they decided to just send me a new lathe. Keep in mind they ship from Ga. and I was in Mt. They also told me they just donate those returned machines to machine shop schools. So it was a total loss for them. My new lathe has been great and I cant even nit pick it. I bought a new mill from them because of that experience, years later the salesman remembered me and even gave me a break on the mill. Excellent company to deal with.
