Which new lathe?
This is my first post. Spent MANY hours in this forum in the past two weeks. Feel like I'm getting to know you guys some. You are very open with all sorts of helpful info. I've seen amazing craftsmanship in your work. Three years ago I turned some plugs on my Dad's OLD Montgomery Ward lathe. Now I know I need a new lathe. Could use your input please.
What I've found so far are: Grizzly G9247
Jet 708351B Mini
Delta Shopmaster LA200 Midi
Any recommendations and reasons for your choice or other suggestions? Thanks for your help.
Paul

Bernzy, The Turncrafter Pro Midi Lathe is $189.00 (with $30.00 ups charge) has a 3/4 hp motor and a 3 year warranty and it looks like it's made by the same company that makes the Jet.

RB,
That looks like a solid piece of equipment. Great price and Penn State is a good company to do business with.

Homedepot.com
If you have a Home depot near you check them out. They just started carrying Ridged tools. They sell a Big one with the stand for $197.

I searched Homedepot.com and didn't find it. If you go to Ridgid.com they have a store locator or you can call your local Home depot. Good luck.
Also try Rockler.com. They sell a nice "pen Lathe" with an 8" work between centers. Good for most plugs. Think it was $99.
Pic shown is the one Home Depot is selling. WL1200
