Do any of you have experience using the Astra CL34? Would you recommend it for a machining shop?

Huh, decent specs, assuming the CSS function works as it should.
If you're just a hobbyist though, that's a bit much.
This is a chinese made machine, usually the cast iron is quite poor quality. It depends on what you need, first i would look for a used lathe that will fit my needs
Entertaining the idea of a chinese lathe... do your research
Cnc titans are buying Do San machines
asiatics can make machines
Just look at toyota, honda and whatnot
Japan's best are equivalent to China's crap
uh huh
I hate weebs so much its unreal
show me a chinese car that lasts more than 10 years
I doubt a lot of professional machine shops are using these. It's fine for a smaller shop or a company just getting started as long as you keep in mind that it was built by slaves using tthe absolute cheapest materials on Earth so it will probably not be something you can depend on long-term.

Japanese and Korean stuff is usually quality. Chinese is absolute shit tier and you know it. The only reason anyone buys their garbage is price.
Checked.
While I share your distaste for weeaboos, this guy has a point. Japanese quality is light years beyond Chinese.
You'd be safer in a rickshaw than a Chinese car. They don't sell them in the US because they can't meet the safety standards here.
One of the mills where I work is from china, the thing works everyday nonstop and the only thing that needed replacing was a bearing that started to sound bad, the important parts of the CNC are also made in China and work fine costing 4x less than their German and Japanese counterparts.
They make good shit if you're willing to pay.
looks like a manual lathe. if you know how to operate a manual lathe it should work fine. you'll need to frick with it to learn the specifics, but that's how all machines are, manual or not.
just get a do san or fanuc
What KIND of shop in what location doing what sort of work?
A small shop of 3 guys we would be using it for pressure piping and wellhead work.
