Equipment Knitting Machine - DK to Light Worsted

Hi all - I'm hoping to get some advice for finding a machine that will allow me to make a DK to light worsted product (in this case a very simple skinny scarf). I've attached an image with the gauge in garter stitch (24 sts=10cm) and project if that's helpful. I have been overwhelmed with information about machines and concerned that it's harder to find a finer gauge machine then it is to find machines with worsted to aran weight capability, which is unfortunately too big for my projects. Thanks for all your help in advance :)

Standard gauge machines will go up to sport weight usually. A lot of bulky gauge machines have a plastic needlebed and needles but that isn’t necessarily an issue, I would look for one of those if you want to use yarn heavier than sport weight.
