After reading this thread I guess I should scrap my VanNorman 570 and BHJ Blok Tru. Honestly, it does take a while to set up, but has served me well , at least when measured with my stone age dial indicators.
Exactly. I'm betting in the end, what you have is only slower in actual machine time. The new stuff is certainly more rigid, and you can take a bigger cut, and up the speed and feed rates.
