Hello Rob,

Welcome to the forum, always nice to welcome toolmakers!

I'll let others open the batting on choice of lathe!

Welcome Rob, before anyone can recommend a lathe/mill we first need to know your interests and what you would like to make. I am a retired toolmaker whose main interests are pre war motorcycles. To suit my needs I have a 14"x40" lathe and a Bridgeport turret mill.
