I'm looking for a small lathe for turning sterling findings and finials.
Any reccomendations in the below $800 range?

Get a Taig: inexpensive, adaptable and higher speed capability than the 
sherline, which is important for tiny parts. I've used mine to turn SS stud
earrings. Make sure you get the WW spindle, and a few WW collets for the
wire gauges you are turning (Or get the jacobs chuck and adaptor  and be 
happy with that) since your budget is high. 

By the way, what are the rake angles for turning Sterling silver?

Where do I find spec's for the Taig, and a supplier?
