Stubby S750 vs Oneway 2016/2416
Well, I have a Oneway and am very happy with the lathe. If you were to get a
Oneway, I would recommend the 2416 as opposed to the 2016 as its only $250 more for the extra capacity. Since you are talking about the 16's, I would assume you are looking at it primarily for bowls. If you are planning on doing hollow forms, the 2436 might be a good choice as it would give you plenty of room for a large boring bar system. As to the Stubby, I can't say. They are a excellent lathe, but I've not used one as yet. If I were to get a second large lathe in addition to my Oneway, it would probably be a Stubby. "MCR" wrote in message om...

If you have room, another possibility is a Oneway 2436 with 17" bed
extension. You can add it on to get 53" between centers or put it outboard to have a shortbed lathe. Then you don't have to slide the tailstock on and off the lathe and you can work over a shorter bed. |

the stubby will turn larger diameter - by a lot, inboard. is this important
to you? the one-way has very cool looking brass knobs and stuff and looks "sleeker" - is this important to you? Both lathes are well made, but they are very distinctly different. "MCR" wrote in message om... I need your input. I am buying one of the three. |

Be afraid! Be very afraid, MCR. Bill is trying to lure you into the
clandestine Stubby Owners Group (SOG). Next thing you know you'll be sending a large amount of money to a John Jordan residing in the hinterlands of Tennessee and obtaining a Stubby lathe, the secret handshake, the magic wood decoder ring and the secret web address of the SOG.

Most purchasers of the 750 don't get the "secret handshake".In order to
receive this you have to supply John with a name/number of a vestal virgin..Not too many around...Seriously,I had the same dilemma when searching for my upgrade and for the money I could find no better than the 750...I did try the 2436 of a friend but found I didn't need/want the bed in the way for bowls and hollow forms..The 750 is so versatile you don't have to "ride the ways" to work on hollow forms...I absolutely love mine and the customer service from John is impeccable...jmo,Rick "Leif Thorvaldson" wrote in message ...

Buy the Stubby - I did!
I have had my Stubby for 3 weeks and am loving it! I never dreamed that a lathe could be so versitile, powerful and comfortable to use. Plus, I must say that John Jordan is a gem to deal with - no messing around and no nonsense - he shoots straight and is willing to assist - always. Ray Sandusky "MCR" wrote in message om...

I went through the same decision making process. I was fortunate
enough to get to turn on both a Oneway and a Stubby 750. Both machines are great but the Stubby fit my needs better. It takes up less space and has a much larger swing than the Oneway. I especially liked the ability to hollow out a bowl or vessel without having to lean over the bed of the lathe. If you are like me, you have looked over the entire web to see good shots of the Stubby. They are out there but hard to find. In order to help the next potential Stubby owner I just posted an article about my Stubby on our club's website www.wneo.com. The direct link to the article is http://www.wneo.com/stubby_1000_lathe.htm I wound up getting the 1000 because some members of the Stubby group mentioned that they liked having the 20" swing over the bed. It gives them that extra room for those out of round blanks and offset turnings. The 1000 also gives you a 44" inboard swing with the bed pulled back. Don't think I will test that anytime soon but I know if I have the urge I won't have to upgrade to find out. Good luck, Tim Yoder yoda325 at cox dot net "Ray Sandusky" wrote in message ...

Tim - nice article!
I'll add my endorsement for the Stubby 750. I love this lathe! Oneway makes an excellent product and I have many woodturning friends who are very happy with their Oneway lathes. I've also enjoyed working on the Oneway lathes when I've done demonstrations for woodturning clubs, but I found the Stubby lathe to fit my needs and workspace limitations when I was in the market for a lathe. What I value the most about the Stubby lathe is its small footprint. I have a very small shop, and the versatility of being able to change the configuration of the lathe without increasing the footprint was a key selling point for me. I'm not particularly mechanically-inclined, but I've been able to use the Stubby Lathe without any difficulty or frustrations. I'll second the endorsement already made about John and Vicki Jordan's customer service reputation. They're terrific people and very helpful when you need some answers. Andi Wolfe |

A friend of mine has both. He seems very happy. So, why not get both and
avoid the difficult decision? BTW, I love my Stubby 750. The One-way would have required me to get rid of my printing press, because of the room it takes--not an option at the time. |

Hello Leo,
I have heard this mentioned many times, exactly what is the footprint on the Stubby?

I just measured my s750 lathe and stand. It is 28" x 36". If you add in
motor overhang, then 28" x 46". That is with the bed in closed position. Since the legs flare a little bit in the front and back, that dimenison would increase slightly if you raise the stand (adjustable legs) or decrease if you lower it. You need to add another 6" of clearance for the knockout bar, plus about 18" for the bed being extended for the maximum it takes up. I have mine with the headstock towards the wall and the tailstock in the middle of the room. That gives me plently of room to work around that end. -- Rusty Myers Austin, TX "Dave Peebles" wrote in message ...
