Jet 1014 with Vega duplicator. Got the lathe off Craigslist, picked up with tools in NH for $225. Got the dupe off classifieds here for $100. Both were extremely good prices and both were in very good shape. Carbide cutter from ProfessorM and collars for the duplicator from Grainger. This is a proven set up for plugs on almost any scale. Be patient and keep looking if you want to go the used route.
