Metal lathes
I would like to try my hand with a metal lathe. I'm looking at a Jet model
BD-920n, the grizzly g4000, & a $799 lathe at Harbor Freight. I would like any input on the best bang for the buck between these lathes. I'm leaning toward the Jet only because I have some of their wood working machines and am pleased with them. I hear that Harbor Freight & Grizzly look about the same as Jet machines but I really don't know about the quailty of them. I'm looking to spend around $900.00 for a metal lathe. Any suggestions would help I just don't want to throw away $900.00 for a piece of junk. Thanks, Jim |
