hello,

Does anyone have comment on the $200 lathe from Harbor Freight (sale price)?

I have a limited budget and can not afford a $500 jet lathe, so for me
unless there is a better alternative in the sub $300 range, there is no
woodturning for me :-(


The Rikon minilathe goes for about $250. Not as big as the HF, but a lot
better. And you can get a bed extension later if you want to turn longer
stuff.
