one wonders what the other alternatives are.
I mentioned Taig elsethread, and the Unimat is still available at https://thecooltool.com/en/ --- for opensource there are a couple of options:
- https://www.lathes.co.uk/multimachine/
- https://www.printables.com/model/89657-3d-printed-wood-lathe...
and I've been debating on getting a small Grizzly G0745: https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-4-x-6-variable-spee...
Are there other notable approaches/options?
