[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2022549, member: 2736"] The best Allround spindle size is 1.570 dia and at least 36" bed between the centers. (Normally at least 40" Ways) I would look for a gearhead model also. I would recommend something like this In ether a bench top or a floor model. I have owned several lathes before finally getting one that would do most types of gunsmithing, and spent more money on tooling for working between centers (Instead of through the spindle). So I would recommend getting a capable lathe the first time and save money in the long run.
