    Thumbs up

    Hi Martin, I have been the proud owner/user of the Nova DVR for about 18 months now, and I am extremely happy with the machine. as far as I am concerned you can not find a better lathe.

    I have spent a small amount of time on other lathes and find the DVR far superior.

    do not delay, go straight to your DVR supplier today!

    I may be a bit biased but the DVR is a great lathe, easy to use , change speeds and can do a great range of work.

    Excellent lathe. I have had mine for about two months after researching the Vicmarc and the Woodfast. The areas that swayed me most were the variable speed capability and the lack of drive belts. Belt slippage accounts for some 20% loss in power at the chuck. A spin-off is the smooth delivery of power to the chuck

    Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies probably offers the best price without haggling. Other suppliers are Gary Pye Woodworking, MIK and Gregory Machinery in Brisbane. All have internet sites.
