Geneeral makes a good lathe. I have turned on a couple of
them. I think my powermatic 3520a is a better lathe though.
it s should compare well with the DVR I do not know about
the Poolwood. you may want to contact David Ellsworth about
the Poolwood. Walter


General International appears to be offering a new lathe
model 25-650.
It has electronic speed control, 16" swing, swivelling
headstock, and 42" between centers. It looks like a green
Jet 1642 or a smaller Powermatic 3520a. I have absolutely
no experience with the General or General International
brand. How does the quality of this brand stand up to a
Nova DVR (my first preference) or a Poolewood DVSL (my
second preference but I am not even sure in available in
N. America). Any feedback appreciated.
