Did you look at the Weiss WBL290F? The 290 has D1-4 spindle, 1.5 spindle bore and separate feed rod but it does take up a bit more real estate.

Yeah, that one is my 'screw the mill' lathe. I have a DDP quote of $3130USD or $4200CDN.
It's very nice, I watched all the videos on the Weiss YT channel.

The CX701 is bolt on.

Is the 290 a candidate for ELS as well?

Ok that's a big plus in the 290 column....
For sure, all of them are ELS candidates in my mind. The 290 has the advantage of separate drive and lead screws.

The CX701 dimensions are 55"w x 27"D.
My SB was 51"W x 39"D
As you know it was the depth that was a deal killer. A full 12" shallower makes a huge difference in a 9ft W x 13" L space.
The motorcycle will be gone Saturday AM and the lift will be sold adding to the machine fund.

Am I talking myself into the 290?
 
Speaking of Weiss and totally off topic (of course) anyone have any idea of how to convince the browser to not take up half the page with the menu selections etc. Literally half the page is useless.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking John. When I look at your photo, only the top two bars are driven by the browser. The rest is driven by the website.

Send us a link. Perhaps I can figure out how to reduce the clutter.
