Hey All,
Last Year some of you might remember I sold all my shop equipment and turning tools including my 3520B and moved to the Lake of the Ozarks to start new adventures. All is well here as we live right on the lake at 13MM, but I have been missing Turning a lot. So a couple days ago I ferreted an area of the wine cellar for purposes of wood turning. I am putting in 60" of base cabinets and counter-top to accommodate a midi lathe and I am searching for the right one for me. I have been looking at at least 12" variable speed midi to do small bowls, HF's and Pens. I have never turned on anything but a Powermatic 3520B so I don't know what to expect from a small lathe. I am looking at the Penn State Turncrafter Commander 12" swing variable speed, but haven't decided as of yet. Your thoughts and suggestions are always appreciated.
