This review is from: Fisch TC90-100 Turning Center 6.6 Amp 10-Inch Swing by 15-Inch between Centers 1/2 Horsepower Benchtop Woodworking Lathe, 115-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Hardware)
This is a great little lathe, very quiet and very easy to use, assembly is minimal,about 10 minutes, is an excellent bowl turning machine and with the purchase of a 3 jaw chuck you will have an extremely versatile turning center.

I wanted to buy a lathe to turn spindels for some Windsor Chairs I was planning to build. The space in my basement woodshop is limited and I did not want to invest a lot of money in a large machine. The Fisch is a great little lathe. With the bed extension, I was able to turn chair legs and arm spindels. I have built over a dozen chairs and the lathe has been excellent-very quiet and smooth operation with plenty of power. I would highly recommend this lathe as an entry level model or to anyone doing light duty turning
