    Hey Avery,

    I have a box of bits in the corner (all my bought and borrowed bits are there in the original post bags, so as I get to them I know what they are and who they come from), I have been a bit busy with a corporate order that has taken all my spare time since March, just about buttoned up though.
    I will be getting into the box of bits soon, and will be posting pics.

    When I bought my Woodfast M305 I looked long and hard at a Carba-Tec Mini lathe and liked what I saw but when I went in to carbatec the sales staff talked me into buying the woodfast due to Carba-Tec Mini lathe centres not lined and therefor not great for pens
    I then went direct to Woodfast and bought the M305

    Yes, I bought mine directly from Woodfast. The guy I dealt with there was super helpfull. They also go right over the lathe before shipping it out, just to make sure everything is perfect. I also got the bed extension (just in case I ever turn a 4ft long pen). Also got some real nice turning chisles from them too. Here's their link. Highly reccomend dealing DIRECT with Woodfast.

    Thanks everyone for the great feedback, looks like the Woodfast is the way to go. I have decided to keep my old Hafco lathe as well, for the time being. you can't have too many lathes. I will post some pics when I get sorted out.
