I have the Micromark 7X14 and am very happy with it. The size fills the
problem of "too small" or "Too big", it fits right in the middle. If you
bought a basic 7x12 and eventually wanted to add some desirable features such
as the camlock tailstock, conversion to inches, the extra 2 inch bed length,
bigger motor, tachometer, the cost would just about come to the price it
sells for, plus you'd have 14" instead of 12".
