Howdy,

I'm new to wood turning

I got a Rikon mini a few months ago and have been turning pen & pencil
sets on it. I like it just fine. I don't remember Grizzly having that
lathe (G0624) when I got mine.

They look close to the same except for 1) the turning diameter over the
bed and tool rest and 2) the 12 position indexer (IMO,the indexing pin
could be stronger).

Hi everybody,
I'm getting ready to buy a starter lathe for myself. I was into
turning in highschool and I'm ready to get back into it.
I was just about to buy a Grizzly lathe and chuck when I received an
email from WoodCraft offering a oneday only 15% off on almost any
thing in the store!

So should I get the Rikon lathe and Pinnacle chuck from Woodcraft for
288.98 + tax or should I go for the Grizzly G0624 lathe and chuck for
$324.00 + tax.
