We were fortunate to get this lathe donated to us (used)
It is compact but not too small, it worked great for all of our shafts this year.

This particular lathe is a common one. It's not actually made by JET. They slap a label on it like a lot of other companies. I highly recommend this site for these lathes (used to be more extensive but times have changed):

Also this guide and website can be helpful for these lathes:
