G'day Ian.
There seems to be a lot of second hand small lathes on Ebay lately.

Might want to have a look?

Thanking you in advance

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forum. I feel the reason you have not had many replies is that this type of question as been asked many times (especially recently). Thus I suggest you either scroll down the questions posed in the Metal Work section or use the search facility on the dark brown toolbar above.

Enjoy your stay.
