Might help if we know what your power supply is. i.e 3 phase or single phase?

Try Axminster Power Tool Centre,  I bought a small lathe from them 12 years ago, its had a lot of work, and its still accurate and working well,  and I have had no problems with it and would recommend it,  came with a lot of parts gear trains, tools etc and was a lot cheaper than buying a boxford or a myford

REmember if you are buying a lathe, can you still get easily all of the  tooling that goes with it  ie Fixed and Running Steadies , gear trains, Chuck attachments, etc  if not dont bother buying.  Cutting tools are easy to source the older manufacturers stuff isnt
