Well, thanks for all the input. Since I don't have $1500 or more to spend on a good used large machine, and transport and space is a problem, I went ahead and got the little 7 x 10 guy and accessories. When I couldn't get a round prop hub adaptor using my drill press and a file, I resorted to using the drill press in combination with a small side grinder. Workable results, but a hassle and not very professional. The cheap little lathe has got to be better than how I was doing it!! I will have a lot of other small jobs for it as well. I also like the excellent support available on the websites for this lathe.

It will be fine, just take very small cuts with it and you won't get any chatter. If after a cut your piece has lines on it resemblying surface deep screw threads, you are taking too deep a cut. When you drill the center hole, go real slow and check your run out. Happy machining!
