there you go right there, IMHO, Arch...

Just as you'll find more people to talk fords and chevys then you will rolls

I would think that a higher percentage of turners own low price lathes..
especially in this "crafts" group..

Sure, I'd like Oneway's big gun lathe and all the goodies... and a separate room
for turning... but life doesn't work that way... (at least MINE doesn't)

Just did some turning on my new Vicmark 300 that I had sitting in my new
shop for about 6 months. FANTASTIC! Sure beats the Shopsmith that I
have been using for the last 20 years.
