I need some advice. I have never turned anything before on a lathe but it has always intrigued me. I would like to start out small and was thinking that the FPP would be a good start. Our local Rockler store is having a sale this weekend on the Jet Pen Turning Lathe for about $70 and I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about this lathe - good or bad. I figured for the money I couldn't go wrong and could at least see how I liked it and maybe upgrade later when money and space are more accomodating. Is this a cheapie or is it workable for a space tight turning newbie who just wants to give it a whirl?? Thanks in advance for any advice you might give.
