I think I got lucky today. I found a very lightly used Taig lathe just about 4 miles from me. Guy said it was only used about 2-3 times and it looked it. Not only did it come with the standard 3 jaw chuck, it also included a 4 jaw chuck that looks like it has never been used. Came with 6 tool posts, a "top slide mount" kind of like a compound slide, tail stock, drill chuck, dial indicator with magnetic base, a few center drills, and a few tool bits.Already played with it a little this evening. Nothing too serious. Tomorrow will be more time. Thank you all for the help.
If it was the standard spindle, I'd consider investing in the ER16 collet adapter and a set of collets. I found them very useful on the lathe. And if you ever get the mill, they are usable there too.You'll have a lot of fun with that!Kim
