Most of my turning experience is on metal lathes. Manual and CNC. I've done some wood turning before and now have started some pens. It seems to me like a cross slide would be extremely useful for wood pens. I don't see any options to add one to a wood lathe though.
I am looking hard at the Comet II lathe, but if there is an easy way to do it on another brand I am willing to consider.
Should I just buy one of the $150 Chinese metal minis off of amazon?

Damascus pens might be interesting.
