Variable vs Set Speed lathes
Hi,
What is everyone's opinion on using a lathe that has variable speeds vs say a 5 or 6 speed one. The jet lathes for example come in both forms. Would it be worth it for the extra $$ to go with a variable. I currently use a Dunlap from the 40's with a motor and pulley that I had laying around and it works great. I have no idea on what speed I currently use. Maybe it doesn't matter that much. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
