Lathes?

[Ron Wooden]

Don't know what part of eastern Ks. you are from but also a club in Manhattan. web site doesn't look very active but who knows? [flinthillswoodturners.org] if I knew how to post a link I would:] sorry. also I own a Go766 and live a few miles north of there. if interested post a note I'll watch this site. Rusty

Hey Howard thanks for the comments. I live just south of manhattan. I know the manhattan club is active and I am planning on going to visit them as soon as I can. There are so many choices in lathes it is difficult to decide on all the different options.

Consider adding the Laguna 1216 to your list. All the features of their 2436 model, in a smaller package, for $6XX. I have a 2436 and a 1016. They’re both great from my perspective and a good value especially if you catch a sale!

My first recommendation would be Laguna's new Revo 1216. It has a 12" swing, will do 16" outboard, 1hp, variable speed, bolt on accessories available and very well built for a great price.

The colt SMC 350 is a good German manufactured lathe. I like it. Not well known is the USA. 14” swing, electronic variable speed, 3/4 hp motor. Both Arizona Silouette and Bradly Mcalister are selling them for $749.
