Lol now were moving away from "which lathe?" to the "how many lathes?" question

Can you cut threads with the Taig?
This will be my 3rd lathe but still on my 1st mill.
My experience...spent north of $400 on a Taig lathe about 12 years ago...love it. Spent another couple hundred dollars on tooling/accessories. Still love it. Retrofitted it with Touch DRO. Great little lathe. For the small brass parts you are considering I argue that you can't go wrong.David,
I'm a bit concerned that after using a Taig/Sherline for a while I might just set it aside and use the Grizzly or Craftsman exclusively. The purchase of a Taig/Sherline might be more out of curiosity than anything else.
I can still make fishing lure bodies on the lathes I have and the fish won't notice the difference.
