I'd find a way to make another few grand if possible (or skimp on tooling initially) in order to get a better machine.

To elaborate, to buy a new, reasonable quality lathe that will last (something in the 13x40 range), you're looking at $5,000-10,000. Ideally you'd find one that is Taiwanese made and not Chinese made (the latter will be at the lower end of that price spectrum).
