We all know of one fine Canadian Manufacturer of lathes: Oneway.
There evidently is a newcomer, that is making one with about 150 horsepower. Check it out:

Inventive, but not smart.
C&C WELCOME
It would appear that Red Green has some competition.
Well, I can see some definite advantages:
- High torque
- excellent speed control (no VFD required - just a beer swilling buddy)
- emergency braking
- easy set up don't need to wire your shop for 220v or 3 ph!
- lots of weight to keep things stable.
- cheap - high Lbs / $ ratio
- easily available - at your neighborhood junkyard
- Portable! Drive your lathe out to the woods, chop a tree, rough turn the bowls, toss em in the back and drive your lathe home!
- Minimize clean up. Leave your shavings in the woods!
I'll have to look into this....

Listen, watch out for catches.
Could be a bear, especially with a gouge that long.
Oh, one other feature you forgot! Reverse direction aids sanding.
first things first, drive into the woods, attach big saw blade to the spindle with a long belt , saw your wood , attach the wood to your spindle and turn away to your HEART contend
Well, the position it puts the body in turns me off. Being bent over like that could be dangerous. Didn't really see any other faults. It'd be hard to turn a pen though...
I think they are imitating the new generation of sit down lathes.
I couldn't finish watching it .... kind of gave me a stomach ache.
I wonder if he ever finished the bowl or if he ended up as "road kill"???????lol
my back hurts just watching that guy.
I watched the whole thing...seems the 'driver' isnt driving fast enough. too much power surge and he's having trouble keeping his gouge cleaned out.
interesting to say the least.
im not sure you could turn the speed up enough without it being to wobbly. if the piece is out of balance it will push on the springs every time it goes around and constantly change center
14x48 custom 2hp 9gear lathe
9 inch pre 1940 craftsman lathe
36 inch 1914 Sydney bandsaw (BEAST)
Wood in every shelf and nook and cranny,,, seriously too much wood!
Was I the only one that expected to see him get hit in the beans with that long gouge?
