If by "best manufacturer" you mean "which lathe do people drool over
the most?" the answer is usually Oneway. There are other vendors that
produce better specialty lathes, but the Oneways seem to have cornered
the drool market for general purpose consumer lathes.

MY OPINION

1.Oneway
2.Stubby
3.VB36
4.Vicmarc
5.Woodfast
