I am not sure if this is true or not, but... I heard that this Nova
when turned off, the speed goes back to zero automatically. I think
this is a wonderful safety feature. It has led to me using the
variable speed knob on my PM to turn it off and on when I turn, and
the on/off knob to turn the lathe off at the end of a turning session.
How many times have you turned your lathe on with the speed set too
high because you forgot?

Actually it resets to 500 rpm, which I do love. I can echo much of
Steve's other comments though. One thing I am getting ready to do, mine
is too low, so I am going to raise it, by putting blocks between the
lathe and the (home brew) stand. This will allow me to better clear the
chips out of the ways. My stand also has a sand box at the bottom to add
weight
