Appoligies for this being slightly off target.

I want to replace my current 12X36 metal lathe with something a little heavier. I am looking favorably at the G0709 14X40. Curious if anyone out there might have one. Interested in the feel of the controls, slack in handwheels, any problems, etc.

I will likely fit it with a SumaTech D550 Digital Readout (I bought 4 in a moment of weakness). Any feedback or opinions would be appreciated.
