A good place to start when boning up on these small chinese machines is http://www.mini-lathe.com/ It's a US based site but the machines are pretty much the same. For me, you can't beat Amadeal for service, the owner, Hugh is not a machinist though so dont ask many technical questions but I really rate him as a person, buy from him and I'm sure he will look after you. Of course I have no affiliation with the company just a very satisfied customer. He has 2 Mini-lathes in your price range, the CJ18 which is the same as mine and the AMA 180V which I think is a C4 (correct me someone if I am wrong) which looks like a really nice machine. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/harryuk123_Lathes_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ17360106QQftidZ2QQtZkm David |

The AMA 180V is not a C4 as it is 7x12 the C4 is 8x17 and has powered cross feed I also notice he has 7x14 mini lathes with 100mm chuck if I had not bought the C4 I would have gone for this |
