I'd like to get y'alls opinion on the HarborFreights 12-inch-x-33-3-8" lathe -vs-
JWL-1221VS 12'' x 21'' Variable Speed Wood Lathe
I know that the Jet lathe has a better digital speed control, but Harbor Freight's has a pivotal head for out-board turning, as well as a longer bed, and comes with the stand.
So, question is, is the Harbor Freight lathe comparable to the jet lathe....?
