    The extension to the banjo / tool rest is totally useless!

    G'day Hors,

    I am not familiar with that model, but I have had a Carbatec CT-70-1000 EVS for 4 years and have been
    very happy with it. BUT, if I ever buy another lathe it will be from a firm who manufacture lathes and
    can offer parts, service, advice etc. Carbatec sell reasonable lathes at a reasonable price, but trying
    to get advice, repairs, spare parts etc from them is almost impossible. This means that my next one
    will be from a recognised manufacturer offering full backup, even if it means a second hand one for the
    price of a brand new Carbatec model.

    I reckon that is an understatement.
