Yama Sieki Lathe

[Larry1958]

Does anyone here have a Yama-Sieki (Goodway) lathe. I am currently looking at a few different lathe models with live tooling and a Y axis. Yama-Sieki has been the best priced so-far but cant seem to find many out there that have one. Any input on this would be greatly welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If the Yama-Sieki lathe matches the quality of their machining centers, STAY AWAY!!! I have operated three of their machining centers and they were nothing but trouble!

Sounds like it should be Badway instead of Goodway,

Peon,

 

What kind of troubles have you had?

Come on, there has to be someone on here that has one of these. I have seen some videos on utube use all different models of the Yama Sieki lathes. They look impresive there anyways.
