G'Day from Canada on Christmas Eve,
My father-in-law is a woodturner and he's looking at upgrading from his Shopsmith lathe system to a dedicated wood lathe for turning bowls. He does nice work but his Shopsmith hasn't been perfoming as he would like. He's been looking at the Vicmark shortbed model 300(?) and would like your opinion on it's performance and downfalls. Also, is there a better lathe for less $$$ or a comparable product out there.
Merry Christmas,
B-Daddy
