Default I'd like to buy a small lathe

Maybe smaller than you have in mind, but I'm pretty happy with my Grizzly
G0602, decent quality and has done most I needed to do so far. I added a
live center (like this one, but MT3 https://i.imgur.com/6TBDxh7.png) and a
bunch of other tooling including an AXA quick change tool post and carbide
insert tooling. Even got some CBN inserts last year that I've not tried out
yet.

25mm is listed as the spindle bore, but mine will take 1" (25.4) easy.

Best regards,
Spehro Pefhany

Do you regret not buying the DRO version?

( I bought a 6 jaw chuck for less than the price difference.)
