      I turned patterns for castings on a shop built lathe that was made from large timbers. Had babbit bearings and flat belt drivel. The lathe does not do anything but spin the wood. Years ago we did not have the fancy lathes we have today.

      If you can not turn you can have the fanciest lathe and still produce junk.

    Looks nice, I had no idea they had one. $600 not bad. I already have a 36 inch variable. One of the tools I rarely use. The last time was about 2 years ago. Chair legs. Might use it on the baby crib I started on. Oh one thing I do use it for , a drum sander. Lathe some wood, apply sand paper and build a table to place under the spindle. Turn her on and push the wood through. Works great on table tops , things like that. In my case up to 36 inches

    Seemed a little loud and I thought I heard bearing rub at slow speed. I don't like the placement of the speed on the right because you have to look away from the spinning project to adjust speeds and read the speed. I also like the controls and on-off on the drive on the left. More convenient. I have a Bauer chuck that I got for $99 and it works very well. I almost use it more than my Nova. Not a bad price on the lathe if it works well. Time will tell. As they always say, don't blame the tool, blame the user so if you have good skills you can make it work.
