Choice of lathe
«

Hi new to the forum and thought to start by asking if anyone has an opinion on the following lathes as I am looking to upgrade from my current Nutool NWL900 lathe with is now showing signs of failing.
The Lathes Im looking at are
Wivamac Zebrano - looks good but the price???
Record - Maxi 1
Nova Galaxi 1624-44 - not sure about the direct drive robustness expense to replace etc
Also if anyone knows of stores that might stock these other than Turners retreat or Snainton Wood supplies.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have any experience of the Zebrano, or of the Galaxi, but I've had 5 years hard use out of my Maxi 1 and I remain very pleased with it.
