Hello,
For those of you like myself who have been looking for a good deal to get into turning, I found the Rikon lathe on sale at woodcraft today for $199.00. I hope this helps with any decision making. I was almost certain I would go for the new Jet 1220 but getting the Rikon would save me enough for some other accessories like a chuck, a stand, or an extension. I know the reviews for the Rikon are mixed, but 50 bucks off makes it a pretty decent option. What do you think?
