Christine, Aukai, seems like all 3 of us are in the same boat and thinking of the same lathes.
After being on this forum for just a couple hours, and a night of looking at youtube
also finding out that "Matt" from Precision Matthews hangs out here, and offers a 3 year warranty even tho the price is a few hundred more than the Grizzly G0602
I will have to say the PM-1030V is at the top of the list, and seems most likely the one I will get
At this point only 2 things would push me away from it
one, I come up with an extra grand to spend, then I would step up to the PM LB lathe
two, one heck of of a deal on a used 12 or 14 swing machine falls in my lap
