We purchased this lathe last year:

We were limited on space and could only handle a benchtop lathe.
We put the lathe ontop of this rolling workbench :

You will also notice it has a longer bed than most others on the market.
It worked for everything we needed.
I'd recommend this lathe to anyone looking for a benchtop lathe.
