New lathe choices....help.....
Good news, the wife says I can buy tools.....BAD news, not enough money for
everything I want (imagine that) I want a new lathe. Here are some of the choices I am looking at and I need some real world help. Harbor freight (don't laugh, I have a small one now and it has been great for what I have asked it to do) Harbor Freight 34706 (12", varible speed) on sale $180 Harbor Freight 90265 (15", variable speed, looks like a knockoff of the Craftsman 15") $399 Craftsman 15" VS lathe $449 Delta 14" $550 I know the Delta is good. But does anyone have experience with the other tools? All advise is welcome and appreciated. |
