Doesn't need to be fancy, just enough to cut, crown, thread, and chamber barrels. Anybody have any suggestions?

You might think about hitting Grizzley' S tent sale (scratch/dent) sale in june. Me fad picked up a larhe and mill 6 years ago for a little over half price due to cosmetic damage and has done a ton of cotting and crowning and theaded several barels among countless other things hes made. Gotta be there early but it is not the zoo some people claim and there are good deals. I picked up a 8” jointer for 60% of new price because it had
a dent that the tip of my pinky finger wouldnt fit in on the base cabinet.
:tup: :tup:

Also, if you do get a small one, make sure the hole through your spindle is big enough to do what you want. Some of the smaller lathes have 3/4"-1" through -holes. It's hard to put a barrel blank though that, you will have to rely on a steady rest at that point.

Was a Machinist for 19 years mostly Lathe (CNC) and having the right tools will make your job exponentially easier trying to Mickey Mouse stuff will end up costing more and leads to accidents if your Lathe is to small you will not get the most out of it :twocents:

Fixing a wore out lathe will be expensive, working on a hardinge will ruin you......and Chinese lathes are all about the same with different paint and widgets.
