Welcome , I have the 12-18 and it's done me OK for now. Some people on here may say otherwise
The only advice I'd give is if you can then try organise a lesson or 2 with someone local that will help you with tool control it will be time well spent and will stop you making frustrating mistakes.
Other than that get used to hiding your credit card bills from sig other, it reduces the ear damage

Roy I seem to be the exception having made my first lathe sure taught me to appreciate a decent bought one but learned a lot having to investigate every function on the way, then the best help while helping others was joining my wood group and having a ball with them in the 80,s. I hve so many memories of having to line up in the 40,s at school to get a few minutes on the wood and metal lathes at school.
Have a go mate be careful they can bite.
Kind regards Peter.

Oh you are gonna fit in soooooooooooooooooooooo well round here mate !
Terry ! New member for the Plonker Club and he hasn't even made a shaving yet, now that must be a record.
Seriously though, hope you're better soon and please do take lots of pics of your progress, we like pics here.
That's a Brahma Roy hope your not too badly injured and can spin it up.
I would suggest for you goggles, gloves, hard hat and toe tectors while in the setup process.
Remove the gloves before going anywhere near a spinning object and have fun.
Oh yes and the camera, don't forget the pics, no pics it didn't happen is a motto on here.
