Hi everyone! I'd like to know your opinions about the Presto 8DG lathe. Had anyone got one of them and can tell me?
I know that the best, as far i know, are the Scully and Neumann lathes, but i'm trying to find some good stuff but cheaper...
What do you think? With a SC99 cutterhead and different types of stylus, can i cut on acetate for later pressing (rubi, zaphire...) and cut on PVC too (diamond)?

Re: Presto 8DG lathe question
Ameise have the presto with the SC99 for lacquer cutting. So maybe get one of their pressings and have a listen.

Re: Presto 8DG lathe question
Hi,
I have the 14-B lathe which is the fanciest Presto, mine has a Westrex mount as well. The 8DG is almost as good but I don’t think it could hold a 3D or 2B head though!)
I have a friend in London who would like to sell a fully working 8DG.
