Hello to all. My name is Darrin and I live in central New York inbetween Syracuse and Utica/Rome. I was hoping I could get a little advice from some of you experienced turners. I am planning to purchase my 1st wood lathe and was considering the Jet 1236. My plans are to turn bowls and smaller pieces such as plugs (the kind that tattoo shops sell) etc, etc. Will the 1236 be sufficient enough of a machine to turn your average sized bowl with the size motor it has and the 12 " swing? Any info would be appreciated because as I stated, you can't get much newer to the hobby as I am! I just dont want a lathe I'll outgrow in a year or so. Thanks in advance!!
