I've looked at the Vevors. They're made in China, so I wonder how they compare to the Grizzly, which are also made in China. I don't think the Baileigh has a threaded chuck. I think some of the accessories that I got with the Jet might work with the Baileigh. I asked for a shipping quote, and if it's not too much I think I'll go for it.

Would I buy a Craftsman Atlas again? No. I am invested in it now. Yeah , Most lathes are China made now. Only the Old School lathes have the threaded chucks. The newer ones have bolt patten or D1-4 or so on.

Re: Metal Lathe
I've had.my Causing 4902 10"x 24" for about 15 years and love it. I bought it as a non working unit but found somebody had miss wired the reversing switch...after a lot of head scratching figuring that thing out it worked great. I really want a bigger one now and at least want a 12"x36". When buying one try and find one with lots of tooling included. Mine came with none and I've spent way more on tooling than the cost of the lathe.
