Delta 1460?

[steve denison]

I came into an opportunity to buy a Delta 1460 or a 46-305 for $100 on CL. I currently use a Delta Homecraft 46-110 that I completely restored. The Homecraft is a great lathe, but it is only 10 X 36 and it is fairly light. The 1640 and the 46-305 is 12 X 36 and a bit heavier.

Any thoughts on the 1460?

buy the heaviest, largest capacity one you can afford.
