One slight
"drawback" , that probably will never bother me, is the lack of any
form
of indexing on the chuck.

Hope you got the pin jaws. Great way to start things out.

Your lathe lacks indexing?

I think he meant the chuck, George...DO chucks have indexing?

(I've never used indexing on the lathe, either)

Yep, I've seen pictures.

Indexing is nice for spoked wheels and flutes in columns, as well as French
dovetails in candlestands.
