Deal or no deal Lathe

[_taz_]

i been lurking mostly in the Mill forum, but have a chance to buy a clarke metalworker similar to http://store.summitracing.com/largei...k-bt1028_w.jpg for $175.00
I have never used a lathe and don't have anything in mind for it, but we always "need" another tool. anyone think thats a decent deal, or should I just spend the money on more tooling on my mill?

thx

The Clarke is listed in the VERSIONS section. If it has all the accessories and parts, I'd say it could be a handy tool.
