I know this question comes up every month or so, but I have
to ask again. What are some of the opinions on the Nova DVR lathe? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks LB |

Not likely, but that'd be the bargain of bargains in 16" swing lathes. |

Is that why you use a sharp rock for bowl turning? Or does your lower talent level require a bowl gouge??

Obviously the essentials of turning do not require all the bells, whistles and foolishness with which we can indulge ourselves. If you search for a useable tool your range of options is huge, but if you look for a bragger, it's gotta be the biggest, most expensive, or perhaps most innovative. Spins the wood, of course, but you still have to cut it, which requires imagination and ability. Or ... how's the surface off that CNC-er Art? Got the thing sanding itself yet? |

My first exposure to one was when Mark Kauder from Alabama, a regular poster on the Turning section of WoodCentral bought one. He wrote a pretty comprehensive review of it. It was scooped up for an article in the Articles section (I've done the bulk of the HTML conversion of the articles) on WoodCentral, and is worth a read. http://www.woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/r...cles_503.shtml -- LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net Proud participant of rec.woodworking since February, 1997 email addy de-spam-ified due to 1,000 spams per month.
