Hello Tom,

I'm sure I'm a bit biased, but I had a Nova 3000 for three years and now have a
Nova DVR 3000 for the last three years. I believe the Nova DVR 3000 is the best
lathe on the market for under $2,000. Simply getting rid of the drive belt
significantly reduced the vibration of the machine. This machine has new motor
technology that really makes the lathe perform well. I highly recommend the
Teknatool lathe over the Jet. The 16" over the bed and 30" with the headstock
swivelled 90 degrees is hard to beat.

Would really appreciate hearing your feelings on these lathes.
