rasberry.... i'm a turner in Calgary and have been turning for a number of years now....started with an old coronet late...went to a union jubillee full size...sold that...got a jet...and now own a General 25-200....advise...if you think you may get hooked..look at the general 200 vs the 100...the differences are substantial...if you can justify the small price difference having variable speed and a more powerful moter, more weight, are well worth while....over the years the cost will seem incidental....this 200 machine turns as well as anything I have worked on...if you get hooked you're going to want to upgrade sooner rather than later....check it out and happy shavings to you!!!!

I am new to turning and am currently looking at three lathes available
here in Canada in my price range and am seeking advice from any and all
who have experience with any of these models.
