I have been on the bubble about getting into turning and have been keeping my eye open for an interesting deal. My fall back would be getting the HF 34706 plus a cheap tool set while I learn. I guess even with a 20% coupon and not even thinking about chucks and other accessories I would be in at least $350 to start.
My question that I have to decide on is a friend of mine knows somebody who is selling a complete turning setup with a Nova Comet II, PSI Barracuda 2 chuck system and a whole bunch of tools, turning blanks etc for $699. It is twice what my original starting budget is but this seems like a good deal. I know it is a midi lathe but I am really interested in bowls and smaller stuff and haven't really thought about spindles etc but a bed extension is not that much if I need it down the line.
SO guys is this a good deal, do I get it?
