Re: Critique our lathe choice

Don't forget tooling. This can be a big portion of the total cost to usefulness.

Quick change tool holders, bits, live center, chucks...

Often some cheap versions come with new lathes, and you can get slightly better quality, but vastly easier to use stuff for a couple hundred dollars.
