Anything in particular I should know about on the Nova.

Any rumors about the financial health of the parent company? When I see a
sale like this I sometimes think they are gettiung rid of them before the
company goes under or before they bring out a new model.

Woodcraft has had periodic sales on the Nova lathes, usually once a
year or so. I know nothing about the company's health or plans, but I
don't think the Woodcraft sale is anything suspicious.

I have the 1624 model and I'm quite satisfied with it except for
occasionally wishing I'd spent the money for the DVR. You did note on
the ad that you have to buy or build a stand for the DVR? I'm puzzled
why they don't include the stand that comes with the 1624.

Is the stand for the 1624 a good stand or should one consider building
one. I have heard both plus and minus for
being stable on large turnings(12-15").
I was going to buy a PM but this is a good price but as you noted the
stand will add another $250+
