All of these lathes cost within the $4K to $6K range, and all are fine machines for even the pro turner. But I'm curious--I'd love to hear everyone's opinions. If you were in the market for one of these lathes, which would be your choice, and why? Assume you'd be buying the appropriate machine for the type of turning you do. Feel free to mention any other comparable lathes if your choice falls outside these four, but please confine your choices to machines available in the USA.
Thanks,
Max
