Question Mini/Midi Wood Lathe (What to Buy)?
I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on different lathe models. I am new at turning, and want to start with pens and such. I am a disabled vet, so I am on a limited budget. I want the best quality machine for the money. I am thinking somewhere under $300.00. Please give me some ideas.

Thanks

By the way, any ideas on chisel sets?

Welcome to the site! I'm also a USAF Disabled Vet. I know what it is like being on a budget. I was also looking at pens and yo-yo's.. There are a lot of mini lathes for pens. You may want to look at Grizzly for ideas and go from there.
