Hi,
I have just got myself a Leady lathe. I bolted her down westerday and roughed out a green camphor bowl. So sweet to use and took less than half the time my record would have done. After my experience with the crappy MC900 this is turning heaven. It comes with a ****load of extras including an expanding chuck that is so easy to use.
When I decided to call Bruce Leadbetter he had one in stock and I went round and made the deal that day. He is a great guy and entering his workshop is a bit like grasshopper seeing the master. I came away with a head full of ideas as well as a lathe.
Pity I am at work today but I will post pictures soon.
Regards
John
