Hey,
After looking through the forums I decided I wanted to try pen turning. I do not have much wood working experience but thought it was something I would like to try. Ive done some research but have not found and great, cheap lathes. I don't want to spend more than 150 or 200 dollars for a lathes just to try pen turning out. Ive looked at-
http://www.amazon.com/SHOP-W1704-3-...3SWW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1291762403&sr=8-3
Looked good but the reviews said it might not be good for a beginner because of alignment issues.
I also looked at

Looked good but doesnt have great reviews and limited attachments.
Is there a decent cheap lathe like the old wilton on. It was the best I saw but was discontinued when JET bought Wilton. It was only like a 100 dollars I think.
Thanks
