After seeing all the build threads on CNC lathe conversions I'm thinking of doing this. I have a Craftsman 12x36 but from what I've read this is not a good candidate for conversion.
I want something bigger/stronger than a 9x20, thinking along the lines of a Jet 1024. Was looking at a Clausing 1301 but it looks a little too big to be putting in the spare bedroom.
What's a good lathe that's somewhat available used in this size range that also would be good for conversion?
