Well just bit the bullet

[Pat]

Just sent an email ordering a new lathe from Woodfast . . . M910 + accessories.

How easy is it to spend 4 1/2 grand:U

[Ad de Crom]

Yes Pat, you can spend 41/2 grand in a blink of an eye.
But spending it on a new lathe is a good investment.
Congrats, and have turning fun!!

Beer of course, if it was a Stubby, maybe champers:U

Yes Ray, outboard turning and 3 point turning + a couple of tool rests and ancillaries.

Hope it serves you well Pat.

Looking at their website I see they now offer a swivel head model.

Just spoke to Graham from Woodfast, confirming the order . . . I had to add another faceplate on didn't I:;

They are test it today, so I may have it sooner than later . . . I will have to get the shed finished.

Graham told me that they are moving to larger premises on Tuesday, so I volunteered to take any stock that they did not want to move, like a midi lathe or combo Jointer/thicky:U

Testing it :rolleyes: wonder what they are turning 40" or pens:q

Midi lathe for pens eh Pat :; and 500mm jointer/thicky would be an advantage

I have a C1000X and am happy with it. Quite like the yellow, too.

Long test period :U

[Sawdust Maker]

You'd better buy one of those bright orange fluoro vests so when you get lost in the curlies they look for you and not the lathe :D

happy buying you lucky ... fella :2tsup:

I'd volunteer to test it for you but I don't get enough time on my own lathe :doh:
