I want to get an upgrade on the 1950's Delta lathe I use.
Most of the lathe work I do is legs for stool, chairs and table, but now and then I turn a bowl.
What lathe might suit my fairly basic needs? - I posted a question about a Jet 1442 a couple of days back and some guys said it has a cheesy Reeves drive. I don't know what that is - so now you know you're dealing with a newbie here.
I tend towards buying used machines, and I'd be comfortable spending up to $1,200 for an appropriate machine. If I was educated as to why a more expensive option is worth it I would consider it.
So there you have it - what's your recommendation?
