Well, I,m a Vicmarc man but never heard a complaint about Nova, used a few but couldn,t tell you what model they were. I,m sure you will be happy with one.

Have a 1624-44 have used it for the last 10 years without any problems what so ever. Would buy another one tomorrow without hesitation. Yes i would love a DVR but can't justify it at double the 1624 price. it has been it use 4 days a week for the past 10 yrs.
Great lathe.

Similar for me, I moved up from a MC900 to a 1624-44 about 10 years ago. It does all I need to do.

the nova's (not the DVR) come up fairly regularly on gumtree so keep an eye out - occasional bargains
