Bernie;
Let us know how the DVR compaires to the Craftsman in the background. I wanted the DVR but settled for the Palmgren.

[Bill Blasic]

Bernie,
You'll love this lathe, my only suggestion would be to use 220 as your power source. I have been extremely happy with my DVR.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. Actually I bought the saw because it took forever with the C-man 18" to saw up a piece of Elm about 30" in diameter and 3' long. I am hoping this Stihl will remedy this problem. The lathe is a birthday present for my 60th birthday from my wife and my son. That is why she said go ahead and get the outboard turning rig plus the stand.

Bill B. I definately will be looking into 220v for it. I will have to run a outlet for it.

I think you better stay home, traveling is too expensive for you. If you keep traveling you will need a much bigger shop, but won't have time to use it cuz you are traveling

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW Bernie - congrats on your new lathe! Looking forward to seeing what you turn with it!

[George Tokarev]

Jealous. It'd be nice to have one, but I'm real pleased with the poor (3000) relation. Might want to check out the Nova Owners' group for information on a remote switch. I don't trust myself to reach through spinny things to turn off the switch. Still have the scar inside my left arm from the incident that made me remote the Delta years ago.

The stand allows for chip fall, doesn't it? If not, reinforce under the rails and do some sheet metal work to allow it to. Sheet aluminum chute to dump forward into a bag would be nice, too.

Congrats! Its a great machine to own.
Seems like just yesterday mine was that pretty

Yep the LOML said no more traveling which means no more woodcraft.

[Jason Anders]

sweet gloat!!! I almost beat you too it but SWMBO said no. We were at the Denver Woodcraft about a week-and-half ago on our way through during vacation. They tried to send the DVR home with me on a great deal and I almost had wife convinced but she ultimately said no as I had just bought the Palmgren in January and have hardly had time to use it.

[Dario Octaviano]

Bernie,

Congrats!!! I just didn't visit for a couple of days and you had 2 major GLOATS!!!

Both are great choices

Only thing is...I failed to recruit you to the mustard club.

I almost got the Jet 1642 but just was to big for the space I had. I got to use a DVR in KC this past week so opted for it.

That will teach you to take a nap. Wasn't paying attention.

Bernie
Are you gloating about the Nova or the generousity of your wife?

Congrats on both.

Frank

[Barry Stratton]

Holy smokes Bernie!!!!! You get a new lathe, like what?, every 4 months????? Isn't this the 4th lathe purchase in the last year or so?

CONGRATS!!!!
