1.Teknatool TL.1000
2.Symtec-1500
3.Vicmarc-VL175
1. & 2. can find & buy number 3. I have not found for sale yet..
But I am still looking and learning before I buy anything .
Thanx.

Welcome to the forum.

There is a dedicated wood turning section to the forum, can be accessed from the drop down menu or via this link, https://www.woodworkforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=232

I might suggest that you post questions on lathes in that area. I suspect that you will get diverse opinions on each lathe.

As with any hobby enjoy the time that you spend on the forum and please don't be concern about posting photos of your work(we love photos).
