Default Mini Hobby Lathe???

Hello all

I am in the market for a mini hobby lathe, any suggestions? Has anyone
bought a lathe from Harbor Freight?
Need some help, Thanks in advance-
Wanting to make small things like pens and dont have the money for the high
dollar lathes.

The Jet Midi lathe is pretty hard to beat IMO.
Cheers,
