Anyone have any experience with this Rikon lathe:

Or this one:

I'm interested in trying my hand at turning ... but don't want to invest
a whole lot. A recent thread suggested an HF look-alike as a low-cost
option, but based on a recent experience with a belt/disc sander, I
don't want to go that route.

TIA
