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.

Alot of it depends on how much room you have in you shop.
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.
