I realize you are probably not interested in an old Lathe.

Alot of Old Lathes have threaded Chucks.

This Means no reverse spindle Rotation.

So with that being Typed,
I have been looking on this website that keeps popping up.

I just order a Planishing hammer from them.

https://www.vevor.com/


They have some small Lathes.

Then sometimes On special /They have a 10" or 11" swing.

They seem to be the next A mo Zon.

I have held back from buying another lathe from them.

They have some good deals.
There's a Craftsman Atlas for sale locally, but you mentioned the flat ways, and from the pictures it looks like this one has flat ways.

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.
