Went with ER

After reading through the helpful comments I went with the ER and purchased parts for it and have started turning pens. It has worked very well and I am hoping to step up to larger turnings before too long. Thanks for your expertise!

well...

Thanks for all your input. I went to check out the Mark 5 and the motor wasn't wanting to spin so they said I could have it for $25 if I wanted to play with it! I will probably set up the 10ER as the lathe though as that seems to be the general consensus.

10ER or 1954 mark v for lathe?

I have a 10ER with a speed changer and the lathe parts. Locally there is a 1954 Mark V for sale pretty cheap and in fair conditions, but it is missing the lathe tool rest. Does one machine have any advantages over the other when it comes to turning? Thanks for your input.
