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.

I've been in lust with the Robust since I saw the first ad for it a
couple years ago
