Yesterday, to my TOTAL surprise, my wife suggested that I buy another
lathe to keep exclusively for pens. So I'm looking for recommendations
along that line.

My recommendation is that you buy your wife some roses. She's obviously a
gem.

The Jet Mini is apparently difficult to beat for pen making. A friend, who
produces literally hundreds of pens for sale each year, uses one and has
nothing but praise for it.
