Hello folks,
Looking for some advice on this lathe:
Sale price for the lathe is $230 and bed extension is $50.
I don't turn bowls so wide swing is not necessary.
I mostly do period legs up to a max of about 32" long and 3" wide max (typically 2 3/4" wide).
Is this enough power or basically more of a pen turning lathe?
Thanks for any input...
