Looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Have you been touched by His noodley appendage?
I will throw my hat in with the DVR XP, with zero hesitation. If I could put that headstock/motor/computer on my Stubby S750 base and bed, I would do so without question. it is simply the smoothest...
Man, I would love a Graduate. Great job in the refurb.
I realize you have now made your decision but in case others are pondering the 3520 vs dvr question, here is my take....
I've never turned on a Powermatic anything.
I owned a DVR XP for a couple...
Comparing the 3520b with the Nova 2024 is hard. I doubt you will ever find a smoother ride than a DVR. However, they didn't beef up the bed from to original 16" and even that was narrower than I...
Hey Reed, I just thought I would chime in that my Stubby goes low enough in rpm's that you need a calendar to track them. I've started doing a few bowls the way you do and so far, I've been pleased...
Run to the hills cuz we got quotes coming!
I'm familiar from Somewhere In Time and before, but nothing later. I've only seen them once "Somewhere On Tour" but I still consider myself a fan.
Not random at all.
My first two lathes had all of the controls on the headstock and I think such designs are a huge mistake. My Stubby has a remote start/stop (no speed control on the remote as it is an older model,...
Damn cheap considering you won't have to cross the line of fire. $180 just might save your life. If I still had my Nova, it would already be installed.
You could get my Nova DVRXP with the cast iron legs and bed extension for that...if you lived closer.
'Tis a beauty bowl.
Carpal tunnel surgery?
For your blades, oven cleaner. Coil it up, put it in a large foil roasting pan, spray the bejeezus out of it, scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse, dry and you're away to the races.
For the tires,...
I feel for you. I just bought a Les Paul and since then, I've barely made any shop time. Of course, I guess I'm not really complaining. Come to think about it, I have no idea what you're talking...
I just won a 5/8" and handle combo on another site as part of a fundraiser. Doug engraved the handle, "Darth Steve"
I really like Doug.
I know nothing about it (didn't know it existed) but after the customer service nightmares people had over Laguna's 18/47 lathe, I will never touch ANY of their products.
Prior to the MS391, they called it an MS390. I have a 390 with an 18" bar and while it is a tad heavier than others, it sure packs a bundle of power. Next on my shopping list is a 24" bar for the...
You are going to love the DVR. It is just so insanely smooth, well, it's kinda tough to describe. If a used Stubby hadn't fallen in my lap, I would still be spinning in the Nova. (now I just need...
I really didn't like the pink discs. They cut nice and aggressive which is great but the backing would delaminate from the disc every time I went to change them. Sure, this prompts one to use fresh...
I will never touch makore again. One experience from my flat-work days was enough.
Tom, I just caught this thread and skimming the comments, my observation was not addressed... The angle iron from any bed frame I have ever seen is not thick enough to act as the ways of your lathe....
Ya know Brian, that is exactly why there is one other lathe in contention for my $$$.
-sigh- This is hard.
Cheers Pat.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback.
