One of the Brit Turners uses a lathe with tubes.. Richard Raffin? A Tube is a pretty rigid structure. I'd rather have tubes than the stamped metal on the cheap lathe from HF.
Yep, I'm still turning on a Shopsmith (with the heavy toolrest). I'm on the lookout for a used powermatic P90 or general - unless I have suddent windfall and buy a new on -- I love the looks of the Laguna -- it's the BT3100 of the Lathe world.
Just after I posted this, I hopped over to our local Craigslist and there was a Powermatic P45 for $150.. I sent an email, but it was already a taker --
