I just got my new Craft Supplies catalogue, and saw the info on the
new Robust lathe. Sliding headstock, 2 or 3 hp motor, 25 inch diameter
turnings, and a few other amenities. It is the only lathe that I would
consider getting, and giving up the PM for. The sliding headstock
gives you the best of a bowl lathe, and a spindle lathe. No need to go
outboard. I never appreciate the sliding headstock feature until I do
a demo on a lathe that doesn't have it. No more leaning over the bed
of the lathe to turn bowls, or boxes.

Hi Lawrence

I was wondering why you'd consider anything other than a Oneway, it's
the best there is. IMO, and no I don't sell them or have any financial
interest in them.

Have fun and take care

I have been turning for several years on a Oneway 1224 and I am considering moving up to a larger lathe. The two that I am considering the most is a Oneway 2436 with the 44" outboard setup or the VB-36 with tail stock setup. What do you guys think? Which is more user friendly? Which one is easier to get parts for, etc? Thanks
