I was thinking about this lathe. Has anyone tried it and got a report on
it they would share?

The King KWL-1016C

I am anticipating doing small projects - bowls, turned jewel boxes,
spindles and legs etc. I do not anticipate doing large projects.

Price is usually about $300 CDN - or $245 USD approx. They throw in a
set of turning tools - not great ones but they work.

I know I can get the Jet mini lathe - but would only consider it if it
is so much better that it's worth paying the extra for...
