With winter around the corner. I need a lathe. Want something to get the job done. Dependable, nothing fancy. Hopefully something that I wont outgrow as my skill level builds. Any certain brands or features that are a must have

Suggestions? Thanks

Woodcraft has the Rikon midi on sale now for 199. Check Amazon for some good deals on Jet and Delta.
