A few notable additions:
- 3 new Rikon lathes in the queue for Fall '09
- New "Sit-down" lathe is available from Vicmarc
- New Grizzly H2669 (don't miss this one!)
In Walter Jones' list the Delta 46-460 needs to be added, as well as the non variable speed version. Also the list posted by N_Addy needs to add the LA 200 (Midi). Both Delta's are excellent Midi's.
The Shopfox 1758 and Grizzly G0462 lathes are identical but you're listing the Shopfox lathe as having EVS and the G0462 lathe as not being VS. Both have Reeves drive pulleys that control the 10 speed ranges.
Further the JET JWL-1442VSK is almost identical and is controlled with the same Reeves drive pulley system and you list it as VS.
As the importer of the genuine Vicmarc form Australia I would like to bring some precision to your table of lathe which by the way is an excellent idea.
I believe that you have the specifications of the CS version of the Vicmarc lathe. For example the VL300 from Vicmarc weighs 770lbs in the short version and 990 lbs in the long version, prices goes with the weight, 5495.00 and 5949.95 respectively. One way to distinguish the two version is the presence of the red horizontal bar functionning as a stop bar. Those are in stock at Woodworker's Emporium. Also the medium speed range on those lathes is 20 to 2000 rpm. Most of the information is available at Vicmarc.com.
