I've been helping one of my daughters classmates learn to turn pens and his dad asked me to help him find a suitable lathe for him so he can do it in his garage instead of him always coming to my shop. This young man is 14 and his dad only wants to spend maybe a couple hundred dollars just in case this is just a phase. I told him I'd look for a used one but I'm not sure what to look for since I just started learning how to turn pens with him on my 3520B. I told him I'd help the kid get set up with a few tools and things and if he burns out I'll buy the lathe from him and put it in my shop. I might as well start collecting lathes to go along with my router collection.
I'd appreciate any advice you guys might have.
