My only additional comment would be that if you buy a cheap lathe to try out
woodturning, at least buy one with standard threads. I had a cheap Grizzly
with 1"x12 threads. When I finally bought a decent lathe I had to get rid
of the 4 jaw chuck, face plates, screw chuck, sanding disk, etc because they
were such weird threads. As you buy more tools, you can still use those, but
you can't use many of the lathe attachments.
