    Hello all,

    I've fancied a lathe for a while and now that I've got myself a small unit and a bit of (rapidly shrinking) extra space, I've started to think about it a bit more seriously.

    It's not going to be getting loads of use, but when I do use it I want to get decent results. I'm happy to take the time to learn and go the long way around - not expecting 6mm DOC at 200mm/sec or anything like that.

    Having had a look around, this little Clarke seems to get consistently good reviews - it's not a steal at that price, but it's affordable:

    Any opinions, other recommendations or advice?

    Wal.
