    Our First lathe

    Hello, my wife and I work making characters with different kinds of wood we are very happy with it but it takes too long to finish one piece (a month and more). So we are thinking in buying a lathe to make small products (candle holders, pen holders, tool handles, boxes , etc)maybe faster and easy for selling.
    After a week of searching on internet we have these options:
    Rikon 70-150 VSR
    Jet JWL 1015 VS
    We’ve also checked the jet JWL 1221 VS but is more expensive exclusively for us because we live in Peru and the importation shipping , all taxes and courier costs increases considerably the price.
    But all of them are considerable investment so we also think that maybe the JET JWL 1221 VS jet would be the best investment, does it worth it?

    Price in Peru approximately
    Jet JWL 1015 VS $1118
    Rikon 70-150 VSR $ 1210
    Jet JWL 1221 VS $1700
    We’d like to hear your opinions and experiences with this options .
