Congrats on the lathe! I know many do not like the reeves drive but mine has been trouble free for 2 years now. Good solid machine...Bill...

How could I pass up the price??????They're selling the 1014 regular on craigslist here for $300 to $350.
Now what is a reeves drive again, something about how the belts change inthe variable speed operation?

Congrats on the new lathe, 500$ is definitely a good deal. Chico is damn far though, i guess Torrance is out of the picture.

I'll be around and I can't wait to get turning again.....I've been losing it on a regular basis since no lathe.Originally Posted by alex carey
