My personal favorite in that size is the LeBlond Servo-shift. get it with a
taper attachment and DRO. Many other good choices, I just ran one of these
and it was a sweet machine.

Well Karl chipped in with the leblond, I can recommend the Harrison
M300, but you did say new which rules that out. I got a new UK price a
few years ago and it was about £12k which would work out to about $21k
at the moment.

Sorry,

Didn't notice the "new" requirement. The only thing I can think of is the
Jet lathe. Its the best of (the worst) the Asian lathes.

Now, if it were my money, I'd buy the Leblond, used.
