My advice is to do your research, use the search function here, and do a lot of reading. TS&B is another one to consider. Or Tag's lathe that he sells. Then buy a lathe that you feel has shown a solid background of performance, like the one's you have mentioned. You don't want to spend a large amount of money and be someone's test pilot for their product. Saving a couple bucks now can cost a lot later when the unit is broke and no one to fix it........Time is money and if it ain't working, it's not making you any money. Just my opinion
