There are several import lathes that are slightly larger than the typical "9 x 19" pattern, and probably better. There are 10", 11" and 12" models with beds of 22" to 26". Weights range from 400 to 1,000 pounds. Check
www.Grizzly.com. If you can find a decent older American bench lathe, so much the better. I have an old Clausing 12" x 24" that weighs in at 1,100 pounds or so. It is also available in a 36" model. It's pretty big. South Bend and others like it are pretty nice.
The Rong Fu RF45 and ZAY7045 mills (clones) are not bad from what I hear. They are about 600 to 700 pounds or so.
