Would like to know which lathe you have and if you like it.
It is a standard large lens and nozzle is a #15. Try these part numbers for the 2 series torches: 45V64S and 53N89. There should be similar parts for the 3 series.
I started with a tiny Sherline lathe in a tiny room and still use it 8 years later. I have owned a 10" grizzly. The fitment , strength, and overall quality is not good. However, parts for it are cheap and it can make useful parts. I've also owned small 12"? Clausing. Good machine, but the ways were worn and parts are crazy expensive if you can get them.
I was targeting a 14"+ with DRO scales when I sold the grizzly and I'm still looking. Something with hardened ways and parts availability will be a potential. Taiwan with a good name at the minimum.
Small machines and small parts in climate controlled goodness.

. It is so comfortable to use that the torch nearly holsters itself. It clamps onto the aluminum table as well.
