Congratulations, you will not be disappointed in your choice. I have the 70-100 and it has been a great lathe and I work in real hard. No problems and when I did something stupid and broke a piece they sent me a new one at no charge.
Good company and great customer service. I have their drill press and bandsaw and all work well. Sturdy, heavy duty work horses. Have fun and enjoy your new lathe.
