Rockler has this lathe for $200. Worth it, PSI or Grizley better? http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?Offerings_ID=19446&max=999
This was the first lathe I purchased. I would not recommend it to anyone else. It is moderately acceptable as a starter lathe, but it only lasted me about a year. I did have quite a few problems with it. First the motor went bad, Rockler replaced the lathe. Tail stock never did line up with the headstock perfectly. Lots of play in the tail stock that needs to be dealt with. A multitude of other little problems that I was able to work around, but shouldn't have had to. Spend a little more money and buy a better quality lathe. You will save yourself a lot of aggravation in the long run.
