I am trying to decide between a Nova DVR and a Jet 1642 1.5 hp. I would use the DVR swiveled 22 degrees for hollowing to avoid leaning over the bed. I am concerned the lightweight bed would not stand heavy work swiveled. Also wonder about reliability of a computer-run lathe. And getting it repaired.
I haven't seen a Jet. Sounds like a good basic lathe. It's $600 less. And heavier, more stable.
Any experiences with either?
Thanks. Frank.
