Hey all. I am looking to purchase a new "beginners" lathe. I have little to no experience with lathes so just looking for something affordable until I find out if I would like to purchase a nicer, bigger unit. I have found 3 that are in my budget with good reviews, can anyone recommend one over another? I am mainly just looking to turn pens and smaller objects. Thanks!
