I have the Turncrafter VS and just got the little dup PSI makes from Santa. Just started fiddling around with it and it looks like it will do all I want. Granted it takes time to make templates for it. Not really set up to use a plug as the template but if you have the skills and tools to make templates from sheet metal or Plexiglas it is a good little rig.

It's design has it's limitations. Seems like if I want to make anything over 8" I will have to modify it's table since the mount on the tailstock end looks like it will be in the way.

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

In my opinion the Jet 1220 is the Cadillac of bench top lathes.
