Dennis, I too am considering a mini lathe, as well as milling machine. From everyone I have met who owns these tools, the unanimous vote is for the Sherline units. They seem to have superb tolerances, offer a wide range of accessories, and are reasonably priced. I was skeptical about the aluminum construction, but I saw Al's (BWA) unit, and it looks beautiful. He, too, suggests you can't beat the Sherline units for value and quality. And if someone can make the stuff he does, it's a good enough tool for me!

What were you expecting? These are tools, not toys! They are actually well priced!

Good point, aBill, as Sherline has some very attractive package deals. Worth looking at, IMO! And no.... I have no affiliation!
