Hi, That's extremely helpful indeed. I do like record equipment and gave had a couple of lathes from them over the years, including the one I use at the moment. Thanks again 👍😊

That is extremely detailed and helpful. I have a dml 305 at the moment which I find excellent. I also have an older record cl1 (one of the blue ones) which is bombproof and I will find it hard to part with. I'm not a fan.if electric variable speed, but that's just me finding it hard to move on...
