I almost hate to ask but I have looked at this and it seems decent..
Harbor Freight 34706 lathe. Seems very similar to both a Jet and Griz model. It is on sale for 199.00 and I have some 20 percent off coupons around so I think I can get it for around 160.00.
It seems as if it would have to beat my Shopsmith the biggest problem I have with any real lathe is where to put it..
I remember Allen had a HF of one sort and took it back. I have looked around and it seems as if most of the comments by people that have them are positive.
The lathe I am talking about is here.

Would this be a waste of 160.00?
Thanks for all input.
