New to me that is. I mentioned in another thread that I had cancelled my order for the Grizzly G0698 and won a bid on ebay for a Delta 16" Variable Speed Wood Lathe 46-755X. Drove to Indiana Sat and picked it up. This thing is really sweet, looks like new. The shaving in the picture proves that it works. The other picture is my first 15" diameter rough out, wax and ready to go in the Kiln.

I like your style... Get a new lathe and immediately see if it can handle pieces on the upper end of what it will swing!:D Congrats.

Congrats Bill.. Nice way to give it a test run.
And by the looks of it you are on your way to starting a herd of lathes...
