At work we (ahem) bought one from Eastwood. It's an import, but 
Taiwanese or at least decent-looking. Kinda like Grizzly vs. Harbor 
Freight; Grizzly seems like it ought to be junk but it is pretty good 
quality.

Alas, haven't installed it yet, so I can't tell you more. I was supposed 
to have it set up a month ago. It'll be in before school starts.

Of course before I even got it BOLTED TO THE FRICKEN TABLE some stoont 
nicked the blade probably put a 1/4" bolt in it. Likely the same dim 
bulb what ground aluminum in the bench grinder.

Just got the new lathe setup yesterday.


(Our students aren't high school shop monkeys; they are what a friend 
calls 'soft-handed new-media types', laptop kids. It's not their fault. 
Not a single one of them ever had a pocket knife as a kid. If you want 
to ask a revealing question? "When you were 10 did your parents let you 
have a pocket knife"? Or ask that of the parents. Of course we cut our 
hands with the damn things. B.F.D. That's why you get ten fingers.
