Well I took delivery of my new 1642-EVS-2 on Wednesday. Bought it from Toolnut and am very happy with their service. I bought it during their sale and they delayed shipping until I got home from Florida. We got home a couple of days early so I called and they moved the shipping up. Three days later it was in my garage. Great people.
My real question is where do you get a smaller face plate for this machine. Penn-State and Woodcrafters list a bunch of face plates but not for the 1 1/4" thread sizes. I also want a smaller tool rest. You would think a machine that cost this much would come with a couple of different sizes.
Very happy with the lathe so far but have not really turned anything yet. I see from reading the old posts most everyone ditches the upper guard and I can see why.
Thanks for any recommendations in advance.
