First, let me unequivocally state that I am a Woodworker who turns occasionally when the need arises.
I have a Jet Mini lathe, but am finding I would like to be able to turn larger pieces ( not longer).
I have started looking at the larger Jets and also Nova. I would want as much flexibility as possible as this will in all likelihood, be the last lathe I ever buy.
It sounds like the outboard capability is a nice feature that allows one to occasionally do larger pieces.
What all should I be looking for in a larger lathe?

Thanks for any advice and suggestions,
Jim
