Thinking about buying a lathe
Hello,
I own a legacy Oramental Mill. Most of my turning is done on this device with a router. The time has come that I need a lathe along with the mill. Most of my turning will be for spindles. I would very much like to use the lathe to learn bowl turning. A friend suggested I get the Oneway 1640. It seems to me that Lathe is way overpriced. Is the OneWay worth the money? Any opinions on Powermatic lathes? Any suggestions on other lathes that I might be happy with would sure be appreciated. My budget is $3000 or less although $2000 would be ideal. I noticed these lathes weight between 600 and 1000 pounds. Can they be taken apart to get them into a basement shop? Thanks Bob M |
