Thinking about buying a machinist lathe

Thinking about picking up a lathe for the garage. Nothing crazy. Something with a 110v motor and a few accessories for smaller projects. Bench mount or with legs/ stands.

I would get one with legs/stands so it doesn't take up any bench space.............I only have so much of that. Besides if it is on legs you can move it around.

I always heard the more tooling the better.

I'll be interested to know what you come up with.
Within a couple years you will spend the price of the lathe in tooling.
Holders, bits, tailstocks, different chucks. Tools are cool.
