    First Lathe

    I am going to buy my first lathe.
    The three lathes I am looking at are the:
    Lathemaster 9x30
    Shop Fox M1099 10x26
    Grizzly G9772Z 11x26
    Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
    How is the quality on these lathes?

    How much lathe experience do you have? What do you intend to do with it?

    IMO, THIS is the most lathe bang for the buck:
