Default I'd like to buy a small lathe

I have looked at Bolton Lathes and they interest me, But I'm really
stretching what I want to spend at $2,000 by the time I buy some
accessories. ...

===========================

I used a Smithy lathe/mill when the CNC lathe was busy, which was most of
the time. Though I sorely missed my 10" South Bend's smoother controls and
better ergonomics it was quite adequate to turn robot parts. The mill
section's drive was broken so I can't comment on how useful it is.
