Need to get a metal lathe for fabrication of of parts for my concrete trowling machines. Anybody know a good brand? I need something to start with in my research.

I use a Cincinnati #19 lathe at work. It does accurate work and has had a very hard life. It's not a CNC lathe though which can be a major drawback. Still it turns threads just fine, does tapers just fine and I have successfully turned balls and other standard metal working processes on it.

I am not sure what the value is. This one is pretty old, but it works quite well and is always in use. In fact we often jockey for position in front of it for making our boat parts.
 
here`s an old "craftsman" branded atlas that i use to make parts to keep my stuff runnin`....they can be found pretty cheap if it`s big enough for what you want?
