Well if there is anything I know about lathes it's the tooling that will cost you in the end. I would check out all the attachments, and costs as well as the overall cost of the unit. I'd love to have a mini lathe as well. I have access to one for now, so I'll use that

The bed length is fine, the swing might be a little on the small side!

The one thing I do know is that you guys are the absolute worst influence when it comes to all the tools to which I never paid attention, but now I definitely NEED!!!

I could make full scale retracts though couldn't I?

Looking at bench top machines. Just seems too big. Here is the Precision Matthew's brand of bench tops.
