What is the size of the spindle threads?
You should know that 1" x 8TPI is the most common. You won't have any
problem finding accessories for it if it does. There's nothing more
frustrating than getting a lathe that has an odd ball size tpi. (1" x 12tpi
comes to mind) It sort of leads you to a dead end.
