    First, you don't need to ask your question in more than one place. Folks will see it.
    I started with a little Grizzly 7x14. it was cheaper to buy a lathe for machining and putting threads on the screw ends on one of my first CNC router builds than the machine shop wanted to charge me to do it. Plus I'd never had a lathe, so great learning experience. Eventually sold it and bought a bigger lathe.

    The cost of that lave to be sent to Australia is to much for my pocket. Does anyone know another one and I can buy in Australia
