Go on stormer hobbies and get the one for $159. It's got the diamond bit. In my opinion, it's an excellent lathe but I havn't tired any others.

The cobra pro com lath is one of the best out there. I have had mine for about 6 years and have not had any problems with it.
very nice qaulity and it's simple to use........

get the lathe w/ the diamond bit, it shouldnt chip unless you keep it in its box and protected and dont drop it lol. carbide bits dont last and there not that great. The diamond bits last for ever unless damaged. I myself have this lathe w/ the diamond bit and it works awsome. Very good lathe for the price, go for it.

I have the Cobra lathe and it works great but, I also thought I would not need the diamond bit. I did not like the finish of the carbide bit, once I got the diamond bit ($69 at tower) then I realized how bad the carbide cut was. The diamond bit's finish was amazing! Just get it when you buy the lathe and save yourself $10.

this combra com lathe is good. i have been using it for sometimes but just get the diamond bit, the cut will be better.

Diamond bit is by far the way to go. A carbide bit will only last a few good cuts. A fellow racer has over 1000 cuts on his original diamond bit. I'm pushing 200 and my last cut is as perfect as the first.
