    This is the most recognised site for lathe info Lathes
    I have a small EMCO which is really just a larger jeweller's lathe but despite its size I have done some amazing things on it.
    Would dearly love a larger big but just don't have room for one.

    I've used that sight many times over the years to help identify possible candidates.

    That was the clincher for me to buy one. There don't seem to be that many around but have found a user group so should be able to get enough details from them to let me make the bits I need.
