I know this discussion has come up before, but I am looking for new info. Companies change, new products come out, etc.
I am looking for a new lathe. Hopefully one that will be my last lathe. I am still relatively new to wood turning, but have definitely caught the bug. This is definitely a Ford vs Chevy question. Here goes:
1) are there any stand up lathes that I should absolutely stay away from.
2) I want to be able to turn decent sized bowls (up to 16 inches or so) but also need to be able to turn spindles up to 28 inches.
3) I am not looking to make this a living, so maybe $3-$4K.
Any help or suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you.
