I asked about Rikon since I have $300 worth of gift cards for Woodcraft and
a Rikon mini lathe cost $399. Comparing it to the other three floor models
yesterday (Two Jets and a Delta), it was cheaper, but had the same HP. The
one Jet VS and the Delta were variable speed. The other Jet mini and the
Rikon were not. The Rikon length was longer than the two Jets but an inch
shorther than the Delta.

I may take the plunge since the overall cost for me is $100.

Thanks for the input.



Ummm you will need turning tools, about $300 worth for starters.
