    Am about ready to pull the trigger also. Did you get the -2 or -1.5?
    Congrats.

    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!!

    Congratulations Brian, I hope you like it as much as I do. I have chipped the paint, though (for JK)

    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!

    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.
