I have used a Poolewood also. I agree with you! Its a joy to use.

I have used a Poolewood and it is awesome. Direct drive so it is quiet and
smooth. Lot's of horsepower so it will turn most anything. I've seen bowl
blanks roughed out on this lathe that needed two people to get the blank and
faceplate on the lathe. Enough accessories to satisfy the most critical.
Gee, I wish I could afford one and had a place to put it.
