When I started out, not knowing anything but wanting to get started as soon as possible, I bought a craftsman pen lathe. It has treated me well but I realized I should have spent a few more $$ on something better. I realize that now.
My problem with the VS is that it is one more thing that can break. It's probably easier and cheaper to just replace the belt rather than the whole VS control. I have no problem changing pulleys manually. I do think I am going to go with the Turncrafter.
Thanks for the replies.
And as everyone mentioned before. I thought with a few tools I would be good to go......BS, I have spent a small fortune over the years on tools and supplies. It's addicting....and definately NOT a cheap hobby.
