Hi folks.
I'm considering getting a small lathe mostly for turning pens (I have a large lathe for other things). I'd like it to have these characteristics:
MT2 on both headstock and tailstock
variable speed (I don't mean changing the pulleys, I mean a dial for adjusting the speed)
total length less than 34 inches.
less than $1000.
I wouldn't mind if it could turn small bowls but it's not essential.
With those specs in mind, what recommendations do you have.
Thanks!
