Hello, Katchin.
Let me throw in my thoughts, which support Andy's position.
I had a CL2 which became upgraded to a CL4 spec Record lathe for 10 years or more. Essentially there was no problem with it, provided that I recognised it's limitations.
Because of it's modular construction, it must be bolted down well in order for it to be sufficiently rigid and vibration free. It either needs a very heavy duty bench, or the Record stand made for the CL series can be used, but it must be bolted to the floor.
Spindle turning of any type that can be fitted between centres is within it's capabilities, providing that it is bolted down. Faceplate turning, bowls, platters etc. is ok up to a point, but as you tackle bigger diameter work, or hollow forms and vases which overhang the headstock somewhat, you need to be aware of the relatively small size of the 3/4 x 16 spindle thread. This is especially so if you try turning offcentre or out of balance pieces. One very well known Pro turner once told me how he managed to destroy the thread by turning too big a piece of wood on his, necessitating the purchase of a replacement spindle at @ £80.00 (then). You can turn such objects, but you have to work with a gentle touch to have a successful outcome.
I eventually gave up the struggle & upgraded to a lathe with more power and a solid lathe bed (Wivamac). The more power bit is optional, but it does speed things up by allowing you to take more aggressive cuts when you want. The weighty lathe with a solid bed is the real improvement.
In the Record range, look at the Maxi lathes, these are pretty solid & are good value.
In my view, you can't beat a relatively heavy and solidly built lathe, it works with you, & doesn't fight against you.
I hope this helps you in your decision,
Best wishes
Greg
