Lathe Upgrade

<< < (3/3)

malcy:
I would agree that if you are getting a new lathe a variable speed one is a must. I upgraded with an Axminster AWVSWL1200 a year ago, and I wouldn't be without the variable speed now at all. I would certainly recommend the Axminster lathes. My only niggle with the one I have is that when you switch on to start it there is a short delay before it starts to turn. I get around this by using the speed control to stop and start it. Hope this helps. Malcolm.

Katchin:
Thanks all, ordered the Axminster one, it arrived yesterday, but they have no stands in stock and my bench isn't really that sturdy, may have a little wait
