Looking to add a lathe to the shop after a bit of reshuffling.
I've got my eye on a few at auction but wanted to see what else is out there before jumping on any one in particular. I am located in NC, not far from Durham. Willing to travel within a few hundred miles and I've also got family up in Winchester VA I visit often.
I am looking to spend somewhere around 5-6k, for the right machine. Preferences would be something like a monarch, hardinge, or similar smaller lathe. Not looking to go bigger than about 30" between centers, would possibly consider 40". My preference is a machine with a DRO, but that's not a requirement.
