I owned a 46-700 and would not consider it for anything but miniture bowl turning and would not pay $200 for a new or used one. You would be better off with a jet mini.

What is the general opinion on this lathe? Always dismissed it as to
light and not suitable for moderately serious bowl turning. But I found
a used one for $200. Maybe I should consider this? I have been holding
off hoping to find an old Rockwell/ Delta (commonly used in school
shops) model with plans of adding rises blocks.

Does the head pivot on these so it could be used for outboard turnings?
