New Delta variable speed lathe

[Steve Hayes]

I just ordered the Delta variable speed lathe, the 46~460. I need to know what the base size is to see if it's going to fit on my bench. Thanks

Thank you!

Steve, you are welcome! But, realize that we expect a gloat thread, with pics, when the new Delta arrives!

It will be here June 24th. Can't wait. I just can't decide to keep the Jet 1014 or sell it.

Steve,

Now that's a downright silly question <vbg>
You can never have too many lathes.

In fact, although I already have a Nova DVR and my wife has a Delta 46-460, someone made me an offer I coudn't/shouldn't/didn't refuse and added a Jet 1014vsi to the herd. Trick was finding room for it... but I managed <s>

Congrats on ordering your new lathe! Looking forward to the gloat thread!

Nice lathe, believe you will like it. I too need to see the pictures.

I am kinda thinking that if it doesnt fit on your bench, no problem, just send it this way...lol I have not ever used that lathe but all that I have read has alwasy been positive...
