Jet has been around a long time. Good stuff for the money. I personally like the history so the Logan's and South bends will be next on the list when the Atlas  (Craftsman) runs its course. Something with at least 10inch swing and 24in between centers is more than enough and there are a lot of them out there. Having a tail stock is a must and having both a three and four jaw chuck a good start as well. Definitely go for quick change tooling. I was able to acquire and tool up that Atlas for under $1000. That was a goal. Next one will have a little more size & power.
