I have never never turned anything on a lathe, but now that I am retired, I've been wanting to add a lathe to my shop. I have a chance to pick up a Craftsman 113.228360 12" x 37" wuth a stand and some basic tools for $150. Is this a decent price for a decent lathe? Wil I be able to tirn a bowl on this thing? Looking for comments, particularly from owners. Thanks in advance. -jj try news:rec.crafts.woodturning You might be able to tern, or tirn,or even turn... or whatever. It's a decent price -- I don't know if it is a decent lathe. Are they high speed steel or carbon steel tools? HSS steel is generally better. That would be a good price for a set of HSS tools -- even good carbon tools are about $60 to $120 for a good set. -- Will R.
