I realise that everyone will have their own opinion and very different experiences but I have the chance of getting a new lathe but am just unsure what to purchase. My first thought was the Record Power CL4 with stand but I have heard of bad experiences with the motor on these. So if you had a budget of £1300 to spend on a lathe and chucking system what would you recommend to a guy who is relatively new. Given that he would not be able to upgrade for many years as he cannot work. You must be able to sit at the lathe and it has to have a headstock which can turn 90 degrees and reverse mode.
