Lathe options

[Acadieman]

Thanks for reply Tinbender! I was looking at the sur-line as well, they are interesting machines.
This may just be the machine to get for now.

I come to realize that all the 7"x12" lathes I was considering are all made by the same manufactuer. Grizzly, Craftex, King tool are all the same, minus different colors and switches. The King tool comes with more standard options, and that's why its a bit more expensive.
I saw one operate and thought it was nice.

It'll have to wait, on the drive from viewing the lathe my daily driver front right wheel bearing started to roar pretty bad, and after doing a bit more inspection the LF wheel bearing and idler pullies are all crying for replacement.
