Hi all,

I've decided to upgrade the Hercus 9c i've had for the past few years. It's served the purpose I needed it for but im getting tired of changing gears/belts and its limitations aren't enough for what I plan on doing in the future.

I'm tossing up between the Hafco AL336 and the Toolex equivelant sold at Gasweld. Both are very similar with regard to specs and price. The Hafco has a couple of extra features like a foot brake and bigger motor, but I've seen both and the Toolex has a better fit and finish.

I've found plenty of info on the Hafco lathe but nothing on this new Toolex one. Just seeing if there is anyone out there who has one of these Toolex lathes or know anything about them. I was told these replaced their old CQ6230 which they no longer make.

Cheers
Fitzy
