I feel I am doing my whole town's part all by myself to boost the economy. Yeah -- that's right -- I decided to take the plunge and get into turning.
My UPS and FedEx guys are wearing paths to my door delivering packages from all over the country containing tools and supplies to get started. Only one thing is missing -- THE LATHE!!
Because of price, specs, comparison and the fact that I have their table saw and am well pleased with it, I decided to go with the Grizzly G0658 which is a lathe that compares well with the Jet 1220 except for the light. It has a 3/4 hp motor, is 12 x 20, has three gear ranges with VS within the ranges, etc. After I ordered it, I find that it is back-ordered until mid-April!! So, now I will have a lot of equipment and supplies and time to read and watch videos so that when it does get here, I will be ready to jump in with both feet!!!
So, I'm here -- I'm ready -- but it will be awhile before anyone will see any pictures of my first turnings I'm afraid!!
