Also see rec.crafts.woodturning for more info -- The electronically variable speed model has cast iron rails. It takes a bit of tune-up but is a decent lathe. The tubed kind is OK, but takes a lot of getting used to. I have a friend who used to turn cannonball bedposts 6' long on a pair that he had welded together (tubes). He made some good looking beds, but my guess is if he'd not had 20 years experience in a woodworking factory, the tool would have been nearly impossible to master. |
