DO NOT buy that grizzly lathe, it most assuredly will disappoint. It is not
up to the ridgidity nor does it come with the tooling you will need to turn
all metals. A southbend 9 or 10 heavy would be good, a piece of imported
junk will not be. Look for a used lathe that comes with tooling. I have a
12" Logan that I do a lot of work in steel with, even that lacks rigidity
when making certain cuts, but it is vastly better than the harbor freight or
grizzly stuff. Use-enco.com is a good site if you insist on new imports, it
has better quality. Littlemachineshop.com specializes in supporting home
machinsists and has a range of small imports. I would suggest you do some
research and use craigslist and tool dealers and maybe even ebay to find
something - I got my lathe through craigslist.

Subject: [TCML] Wanted tabletop metal lathe
Hi all, im looking to buy a decent metal lathe for small project work. I
want something to turn up to 3-4 inches maybe less all metals and plastics
some wood.
Used is fine if in good condition. If you know anyone selling or have
suggestions please so let me know.
Price range flexible probably not more than a couple thousand would like to
spend less than $1000.
Thanks!
Matt
