Hey all,
I have been been looking at getting a new lathe. My Jet Mini is just not cutting it for bowls and larger stuff. I really think the most I could muster up would be 2000 to 2500 and that's stretching it. I have seen good reviews on the Powermatic 3520a. Anybody here have one that can offer some input? I have also looked at the Nova DVR 300, which is more in the price range, but I don't want to be replacing another lathe in a year. Any body have any opinions on these or any other lathes that would give me larger 20" and above capability?
Thanks,
Chris
