I'm going to be buying a smallish lathe, that is able to cope with commercial type use, i.e. it will be used regularly and I'll probably make it work hard at times. It needs to have at least an 8.5" swing and could be as small as 18" centres. I would prefer variable speed. It would also be helpful if it was a standard thread size to make chucks easy to get hold of. Oh and not too many '0' on the end of the price tag :wink:
Does anyone have any experience of any suitable lathes that would fit the bill, or suggestions of where to start looking?
