Many of the builders have the Jet Mini lathe which is available with a VS Variable speed motor control or with a 4 position pulley/belt system.

I have a General Maxi (Mini) that is VS and I also have a bed extension.

I suggest getting a mini lathe that has a 14 or 15" length capacity to make drilling easy. The man cave thread has many pics of the mini lathes that we are all using... including mine.

The local Craigs List frequently has used Jet mini lathes... they have been around for a while and plenty have been sold and many sit unused...
