I'm still trying to find an affordable lathe, the jet ones look great, but
too much for me to be able to pay for. are there any(like the harbor
Freight one that somebody was talking about, that are under 200$US, that
would do a decent job for a while?
thanks

I am new to wood turning. I purchased the HF T34706 12x36 lthe and have
found it to satisfactory for my needs thus far. I paid around $180 (on
sale). So far I have done some spindle turning and a few segmented bowls.
The lathe has worked fine. My only complaint is that it is noisy. I am sure
that some day I will want a better lathe but for now it is doing everything
I have ask of it.
