Small lathe from Penn State

[heritagebob]

I see Penn State has a small, portable type lathe ( designed mainly for pens/bottle stoppers) for sale at around 300 bucks,,, I am considering purchasing one as a second lathe to add some flexibility to my shop.. anyone have one and can give me some pros and cons? Please e-mail me direct with comments about this machine,,,,,,, Hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving,,,,
Thanks
Bob

I looked at that, too and for the same reason as you. I will, eventually, buy a second lathe. But, I think I will buy the Nova Comet II, instead and make it my main lathe. A little more money, but Nova is a better name than PSI.
