Craigslist find, i know its harbor freight brand, but 240 for the lathe, multiple chucks and a set of turning blades was too good to say no for my first lathe :
CENTRAL MACHINERY 10 in. x 18 in. 5 Speed 1/2 HP Benchtop Wood Lathe for $229.99 – Harbor Freight Coupons
Best Harbor Freight tool ever! I got this mini lathe about 5 years ago. it has worked amazingly well and kept up with all the abuse I've put it through. If you turn wood, you need this. : r/harborfreight
