I've been considering purchasing either the Jet 1014VS mini lathe
($329.99 shipped through Amazon)
http://www.woodworker.com/cgi-bin/FU...ARTNUM=136-907 or Harbor
Freight's 12" x 33 3/8" lathe ($341.98
shipped)http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=34706
I'd be able to work on slightly larger projects with the HF lathe though
as a complete newbie to woodturning (not woodworking) I'm not sure if the
extra capacity is needed and can appreciate the fact that the Jet's mini
lathe is a well made machine and am not so sure about the HF's quality.
(If you own the 34706 and like it or don't let me know!) This maybe a
"no brainer" for some but I sure could use a little help deciding. Jeff
