How is the vibration and power on the 1640 lathe? I’m tired of the vibrations and stalling on my delta midi lathe and I’m going to start looking into a bigger heavier one.
I don't know about the new 1640, but our club has the predecessor 1642 with the smaller 115 volt motor. My opinion about the one that our club has is that it is a good lathe, but a bit on thelightweight side and the power is marginal at slower speeds. I also don't like the banjo. I don't know if any of this is applicable to the new lathe.
