Woo Hoo!! Gratz Brian! I really think the 1642 is under-rated. Weighted down and balanced, it's hard to beat for the price. I'm still adjusting to the abilities of mine and haven't even chipped the paint (for JK). Enjoy!!

Remember, in a moments time, everything can change!

Congrats on the lathe Brian! You will just have to do the lathe version of air guitar.
Congrats! I've never turned on one, but I drooled on one at a Woodcraft store... If yours has a rusted spot on the ways, it could be the same lathe!
Congrats on the new lathe!

You've had plenty of time to put it together so where is the pics??????????????????????? Mine was running after about 2 hrs of being home. I had the whole family helping put it together. Quit hiding it and lets see.......
Now there's a dedicated creeker. Post before he put his lathe together...... I certainly could not wait to plug it in....... Then post.
Congrats! As the others have said, you'll enjoy the lathe.
Well????
