I have read enough and seen enough of what you turners do and I am impressed. I suppose to be with the in crowd, I should get a lathe. Actually, my wife has wanted to get a lathe for a while. Just not confident really. Anyhoo, for someone that barely knows how to spell lathe, any good pointers, books etc? 220 or 110. I was looking at the Jet JWL-1642. I can rest my belly on the tableof it coz its the right height:-(.
I hear you guys talk about the Nova chuck and other terms. I am greener than a tree that has just been cut.
Any good pointers, books, brands of cutters etc.?
Thanks a lot for your help.
