I am in the process of purchasing a used lathe for primarily prototyping and hobby use. I have 2 in mind. One is a Gizzle G9972 (not the Z), the other an Atlas/Clausing 4800. Both seem to be the same "class" of machine. The G9972 is available for less money but the money is not really the biggest issue. It seems from some searches that the G9972 is no longer supported by Grizzle and only parts that are common with the newer 'Z' version are available. The 4800 seems to have pretty good availability, although not as good as South Bend or Logan.
Thoughts? This is my first purchase.
