And for what that lathe costs, you wont have alot tied up in it. You can learn alot and if ever wana upgrade, probably sell it close to what you paid ...even if you sell it for half of what you paid, it only cost you a couple hundred bucks during the learning process.
I myself have tossed the idea around. Financially the lathe I want is 6-9 months out ...i've considered a mini lathe to learn on ...vs no lathe next 6-9 months . I don't see where you could go wrong with either of those . Just be sure to hit the scrap yard for practice material before learning on the real thing which could end up costing you $$$ while learning .
Get your feet wet, and their easy to sell if/when want more. good luck !
