    Lots of chinese ones are based on the Myford which I imagine would be perfect for what you need, and avoids the premium associated to the Myfords. I think the colchester ones will be too big, and most likely 3 phase!

    Any perticular brands? Looking for a second hand one because I don't want to really spend more than 350 - 400.. Not a lot I know but it's not like I need a hugely amazing one..
