The 90 has an above average reputation as a lathe. It's not Oneway, but it is still a reliable machine. I guess it really depends on what you plan on turning with it, and to make sure that it is powerful enough for your needs.

Have used one in our local community college and despite years of neglect and abuse it worked pretty well. I have seen quite a few of these sold at public auctions for schools that have closed there wood working departments and the prices have been very attractive.

Anybody else? Are parts hard to find?
