I'd look at the twin bar record lathes or an myford ML 8.

Both cheap as chips but quality lathes.

Axminster are good others will known more.

Just avoid the Clarke lathes with box section tubes as they are rubbish....

Don't be tempted by Parkside, no matter how cheap.
If you buy secondhand you'll have a better chance of getting a chuck and some tools in with the deal, otherwise budget another £300 or more for those

Thanks for that you don't have a chuck with a new machine
