Good afternoon.
I have finally decided to delve into the wood turning game. Taking advantage of the Labor day sales, I ordered a Jet 1221VS.
I picked this lathe for several reason, first being its 1hp motor and the ability to add a longer bed if needed. I figured this would be a good starting lathe.
The only thing that really has me scratching my head is that in most videos, the major complaint seems to be the tool rest lock method. I can't imagine this would be very safe as its consistent stability seems questionable.
Does anyone have any experience using a banjo from a larger lathe that doesn't use the grub screw setup?
Thanks in advance!
