Jet Mini vs. Grizzly VS lathe
I am new to this forum but the first question I asked helped my pocket $100 for a RAS that was a boat anchor. I need some help with a wood lathe to turn slate type turkey calls. Here are my questions:
1) Is the Grizzly VS at $139 a reasonable substitute for the Jet mini? If not what are its limitations?
2) What are the best sources for used mini lathes? (I went to ebay and there was nothing).
3) Are there any other brands that are great bargains with suitable quality?
Thanks
Tom, I like that little Shop Fox
It is very similar to the Penn State Industries lathe that has only 1/4 HP. Are you sure the Shop Fox has 1/3 HP? I think I am down to the Shop Fox or the Jet mini if I can get it for $188 (on sale "scratch & dent"). Thanks for the info.
