What are some good brands and models of wood lathes that are 36 to 44 inches between centers ? Been some years since I bought my last wood lathe. So, I don't know what is new on the market these days. Got a friend that is seriously looking at getting into wood turning. Wants to do table legs, Mugs, Bowls, etc.

He has a basement work shop with a bilco door for access. 120 and 240 in Basement.

All I recall is Laguna, Grizzly, Rikon, and Jet. I thought Grizzly made a fancy Black wood lathe, but I don't see it listed anymore.
