has anyone tried the lathe that uses a 1/2" electric drill as the motor?:huh:

heres a pic.

Doubtful you will get enough torque from that set-up to be able to turn wood efficiently! $150.00 buy a Grizzly.;)

ill take your advice. do any stores sell them, or strictly online?

ebay for under 150 including shipping!!!
Thats where I got mine.
