A follow-up to my earlier TSC info, the company that was Cummins (named
toolsnow presently) has a 7x12 mini that includes several more accessories
than the TSC/Clarke model for only a few bucks more (on sale $399).. the
catch is that this dealer has only a handful of stores, unless they are
taking this mini lathe out on their traveling tool sales.

I found a link to this lathe at this mini lathe site, which shows almost
every mini for sale in the U.S.A.

If anyone has been wanting to get a new mini lathe, but was put off by the
freight charges from most of the dealers, check to see if you have a local
Tractor Supply Co (TSC) for the Clarke model BT1028 "Metalworker".

This particular size is compact enough to move around and use almost
anywhere.
