I'm thinking of buying a bench top lathe for small stuff. I already
have a General 160 (made in Quebec) for the larger projects.

how small or what is the upper size limit

i have seen some truly small ones that are about 18 inches long

i see a lot of mini lathes for sale and of course there are midis
too

It seems to me that some "midis" are the same size as some "minis".
I have been looking at, among others:
General 14"x17"

King 12"x18"
