Small lathe for travel

[patarini]

I finally have a shop and my jet and mercury lathes are in there. Does anyone have any ideas on a good light lathe to use in the semi when I sit? Has to be extremely portable and low power -- thinking of the jet pen lathe, or maybe a grizzly monotube with variable speed. Any suggestions welcome But motor size really needs to be 1/3 horse or less to avoid strain on the electric system. Thnx! Greg

Bonnie Klein has one out. I have an Orca that looks like it. Sweet and light.
