Will look forward to what the responses are? I've done a little research. It looks like Grizzly.com for me. The're china, but I'm poor and the used market is terrble if you're a buyer. There's a site called minilathe that's for beginners like me on a budget. I just want to make fairly crude spacers and bushings for the implements, no close tolerence stuff. Let us know what your research comes up with. bjr

If your anticpated work sizes are within the range of the mini-lathes, they will do spacers and bushings quite well. I've done dozens of them on mine for my old equipment, and it's rare that you need a spacer or bushing larger than 7" x 14". Most are closer to an inch or two, and these are easy to do on the mini-lathe. As far as tolerances, they're capable of holding a few thousandths with care (taking out backlash before cutting, etc.) which is plenty close enough for most work. In many cases, you'll use a reamer to finish the ID anyway, in which case the determining factor is the quality of the reamer, not the lathe.

No close tolerance stuff today. Maybe tomorrow. Keep looking for a good buy on an older American lathe. You'll get your money back when you're done with it. Chinese castings can be very poor quality.
