I have a HF 9x20, and that Enco is the same thing. All the 9x20 chinese lathes come out the same factory. Your best deal is at a Harbor Freight store, they sell them for $699 and you can get a 20% discount coupon, plus you can sometimes a get a deal by getting the extended warrenty. Go to Yahoo and browse the 9x20 lathe group archives. If you get a 9X20 you MUST download the manual that some of members on the 9x20 group put together. It is very detailed on how to overcome the 9x20's shortcomings.

Have Fun
