Also like that it comes with stand/4 jaw chuck unlike other options. I am concerned about likely limited support/warranty from the ebay store, but as far as features go this looks like the best bet at this point. Looks same as grizzly G0602 which is very popular in US. Right now I am not convinced that the old hobby lathes offer enough value for what they go for, and I would prefer not to have to drive to collect anything if I can avoid it. I would love to go for something old an second hand, but will save that until I can buy something heavy. I bought a mill from Titan a few years ago and am not happy with the fit finish, so am very keen to get advice before I proceed with this. I don't have any specific projects in mind, but would like to get as much capacity as possible within the weight budget. Because of this I am seeking a lathe less than 200 kg and have a budget of around $2000 (for just the lathe, I have extra for tooling). I currently live in Canberra, but move around every two years or so due to work. I have just finished saving for a lathe and associated tooling. I know this topic is frequently posted, but am seeking some advice with some new lathes on the market.
