I am currently looking at three lathes available here in Canada in my
price range and am seeking advice from any and all who have experience
with any of these models.

I agree with Robert. General is usually very good, but you will want
a quality set of starting tools, so set aside $200-600. Also think
about what you will be making. Happy turning!

You will do yourself a good turn by posting this message over at:

rec.crafts.woodturning

as well as here. There are usually a lot of helpful folks hanging
around.
