Avoid the Atlas/Crafstman 9" lathes, they are somewhat fragile. They are inexpensive for a reason. A 10" atlas will serve you well, but they tend to be rare and expensive. Even a 6" atlas is fine for precision work, if you know how to use it, but might be a little small for FRC.
Craftsman (Sears) lathes were made by Atlas, parts are identical.
