Thanks guys, the Jet Mini sounds like it may be the way to go. Get a
little more lathe, for a little more money than the "pen lathe",
although I can see why people might go for that one too...

Any weak spots anyone is aware of with this lathe, things to watch out
for or change right away?

Thanks again, glad for the help!!!

I'm looking to buy a small lathe, for pen turning only. Would like a
decent quality lathe, without getting too crazy. I have no desire or
plans for doing anything bigger, and space is a premium. I"ve done
some searches, read the penmaking group on Yahoo's site, etc., but get
no real concensus of opinion on what a good lathe would be.

Anyone here have any experience turning pens, and maybe point me in
the "right" direction? Thanks for any and all help, even opinions
would be appreciated at this point...
