Wood Turners,
I am looking to purchase a new lathe primarily for turning bowls and things from larger blanks. I have turned some in the past but not many bowls. I have used some old Powermatic Lathes and a Jet 1440. My budget is 1500-1800. I am looking at Grizzly but prefer a Jet, nothing used has popped up in my area. I have mixed feelings on the Grizzly but you guys seem to have good luck with them are they are most definitely in my price range, which will allow for some extra turning tools and chucks. If you guys could throw some ideas out there on what you would do i appreciate your experience and wisdom. I have thought about the NOVA 16 X 24 but i don't know if its powerful enough to handle larger blanks?
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Ray
