I love my grizzly 7x14 lathe, once you do a few tweaks it's a well worth the money, I have an adjustable backing plate for my chuck and can get .0005 or less in accuracy,not bad for a $500 lathe!!!!!!!
I also have a LMS mini mill, like it very much
Read up on mini-lathe.com Frank has a world of good info there.
