I'm a self-taught woodturner who's been turning on a Jet 1236. It's been fine for my bowl turning, but I'd like to step up to the next level machine which I can grow into. I'm not turning regularly, nor do I expect that I'd make it a profession. Bowls are my focus. I think you all know the satisfaction in giving away gifts.
I've been looking at the Laguna 18/36 and the PM 3520c. This forum is great and I've read as much as I can on the two machines. I'll also say that I looked at the Nova Galaxi Revo, but it doesn't seem to garner much support.
Who else has gone through this decision? What tipped your scales one way or the other?
Both seem to be fantastic lathes, with the PM apparently being more of a "pro" or "forever" machine.
Any opinions on Laguna 110v vs 220v?
Thanks!
