Default Musing about tomorrow's lathes. (I'm becoming cognitively deprived)

What do you guys want or expect to see in woodturning lathes for 2010?


Built-in vacuum system.

Computerized control panel with persistent defaults and TRUE rpm reading.

Computerized spindle lock with push-button re-indexing.

Laser contour marking for spindle work.

More support for (and offerings of) jigs and such.

Reduction in prices (due to popularity, of course!).

Available in your choice of colors ;-)


Hm....

The Stubby already has the built-in vacuum system so you can strike that
one off. Also, since you get two banjos with it, the second one can be
used for many purposes. I use it to hold the trap for my boring bar.
