going to do it.. Lathe question

[saltyric]

I picked up a delta off Amazon last year for under $150.00........look around, the prices change all the time!

Totally happy with it, by the way.

Thanks alot...

I'm going to get the JWL-1220 because of the 20" center-center and the ability to turn spindles upto 48-50" after i get the bed extension. I've seen some video of it in action from turning 6x6 posts, soap stone bowls and it didn't even blink... @ 32" overall length vs the 28-1/2" 1014I, I can spare the room...

Thanks again,
Paul.

I ended up picking up the Pioneer PRN 17-250 from Western Tool supply in Seekonk. 18" from center to center, solid and variable speed. $199.99 plus it has a rebate for a free bed extension.

Reason was I wanted 16" the 1220 fit the bill but after seeing it in action, price and a little thinking. I couldn't justify the extra $$ and the 17-250 had the extra features.

It's all standard with accessories so i don't need to buy a specific brand.

Read on-line it's the same as the red painted Turncrafter Pro that Penn State Industries offers... So i think i got an excellent deal...
