Im Sooo Confussed, Oneway or Stubby lathe

Oddly, greater rigidity is touted as one of the advantages of the steel lathe over iron. I guess it's a bit more of the grinding controversy all over again.

I'm curious that no one responding to this post has said anything about the "welded vs. cast" question. The Stubby is a cast iron/steel machine, and the OneWay is welded up from tubing and plate. I have never used a OneWay myself, but have heard a number of pro turners say that they don't like to turn for long periods of time on the OneWay because of the harmonic vibration in the weldments. Supposedly cast iron is better at dampening vibration. I live a couple of hours away from the Stubby manufacturer and have just put a deposit on a 1000. I have to wait 3 months but am very excited. I am sure I have made a good decision but enjoyed this thread. -- |
