Every summer my wife and I leave home in in Arizona and spend 2 months in Portland, Or. I have decided to acquire a mini lathe and set up a small workshop in my daughter's basement. I have heard a lot a good comments on the Delta 46 460. Now I'd like to hear from owners of this lathe with negative comments, if any
I examined one of the Delta lathes yesterday. and found a couple of things I don't like. A very small handwheel that has a pinch-point with the spindle lock. I'm sure that I can add a larger wood handwheel to take care of that.
As with all mini lathes the toolrest post is 5/8 in. That's too small for a lathe that swings 12 inches. They should have made it a 1-inch post. Nothing I can do about that.
Comments anyone?
