Hi guys/gals,
I'm looking to buy a lathe at the WWW show in Melbourne next month and am tossing up between the Nova 3000 with variable speed motor and the Jet 1442 with variable speed motor. I know it's probably like asking whether to buy a Holden or a Ford, but any experiences had with either lathe (good or bad) including support from dealers would be appreciated. If you don't want to post anything that may be considered libelous you can send me a PM http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon12.gif.
Cheers
