Robo,

I've never had the opportunity to turn on a really upscale lathe. Would you
care to comment on what motivated you to upgrade from the PM to the Robust?

I currently own a Jet 1442. I hear testimonials about the DVR that indicate
that it is like "night and day" compared to the 1442. I've got to wonder
(besides the obvious: capacity, HP EVS) what it's like. The comments in this
thread shed some light on the differences bertween turning on a $1K machine
and a $2K machine. So what motivated you to upgrade from $3K machine to a
$6K machine?

Curiously,

Steve
