Good luck

That would be near impossible... I've been searching the internet, asking around... but it seems that no one here sells table top lathes that aren't of Chinese orient even if I do find table top lathes, they're set up for wood work and don't have many, if not any, add-ons. So, for the time being all I can do is read about what others think about various machines.

Thanks Mike and Murray for the detailed replies.
