Interesting! I use all three lathes about 9 times as frequently as my
mill.

That could change as I recently got a rotary table and for Christmas a
collet block with a 5C collet set but I still do not see it beginning
to equal the lathe use.

This is the current inventory at a nearby second-hand dealer:

The $950 one is similar to mine, for less than I paid 20 years ago. This
might be a good time to look around.
