Hey Bernie, I think you will like the Taig. I am just leaning to use a metal lathe, and have been able to make rivets and bushings so far. I am taking mine to a machinist this next week. She is going to try to make an adapter for it so that I can use my ww collets. I drew her a pic. of what I was wanting to do, and she seem to think she could make it. 
. I have a full set of the ww collets but no ww lathe. I am hopping it will make it a little easier to tighten down collet with out using wrenches. I have both the standard set and the er-16 collets, but it seems that every piece of brass I try to turn falls in between collet sizes, so I have to tighten Mahlon
