New to site with New lathe

Recommended Posts

I had this roll around cabinet in the corner of the shop for years. I was concerned that at 6'2" tall , it would be  too low. When the lathe arrived I couldn't believe my luck and how it fit perfectly bolted to the two rails. PERFECT!

The lathe runs extremely smooth. Bought it on Amazon for around $250.

That is a really neat setup!  It's great when something like the bench/machine match happens.  Enjoy, and post photos of what you make.

For me, the key to wood turning is sharp tools, and a tool rest that is close to the work piece, so you don't risk a tool catching and flipping out of your hand.  Learn to sharpen your tools, which isn't hard, and you'll have a great time.
