    Thumbs up

    Now that is a much better looking machine than the C-T. Glad you are happy with it.

    American I guess, but made where?

    it is made in Taiwan like most things we have in this state
    The boys at Trend are happy with the range and I guess if they can put it in their school it will do me anyway.....in the pic it is a bit hard to show the standard of finish but the grind on three sides of the rails was a winner for me

    If the quality is there as you say BB, then the Cougar looks like a good value for money lathe. Cast iron legs are a bonus.

    The competition looks to be the JET EVS 2HP and Woodfast C1000X, both worth about a $1.5K more.

    Any chance of a picy of the specs page from the manual?

    What is the cost of the outrigger?

    Look forward to hearing how it performs over time, BB.


    ....
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    That seems to be very good value for money. Will certainly test drive one when I get around to upgrading! Did you mean that they have replaced the DVR's in the 'school' (AKA shipping container) with these?

    I've bought one of those 16mm bowl gouges, and wish I had the 12mm instead! Too bloody big for most of the work I do. Solid lump of steel though

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Very nice & good price.

    How much does it weigh?

    Happy Turning!
    So much timber, so little time.

    Looks like a Jet without the red and black stripes - much like the one our club bought recently. Have fun

    they are replacing 2 of the nover's in that nice air conditioned class room ( aka the shipping container) I think that will be if and when the novers are sold
    You are more than welcome to test drive mine when ever you want

    Graham, I know you are very happy with your new baby. It's seems to me that you are infected with pen turning the latest time, maybe I have to try that someday by myself.
    Have fun with your new baby.
