Grump, thanks for your reply. I was thinking of abenchtop lathe with a budget of around £300. Was thinking of either Record or Jet but I'm open to advice.

If those are your fancies, then I'd say Jet hands down ! The build quality is excellent.

I would have gone for one earlier this year but the CFO wouldn't stretch the PO that far, so I got an Axminster which is OK for what I'm doing now.

I just want to do bigger stuff, so may have to look at something bigger later in the year.
