I think it is close to time to get a decent gunsmithing lathe. What is the recommendation? I am leary of the Far East manufacturers, but maybe they have gotten better since I last bought anything from them (1980's).

I don't mind buying used to save a buck, but don't want junk either. Where should I shop -- the local ads, eBay, or is there a new model that is cheap but good?
