That's a good list, Ern.
A couple of others, that may not apply to the DVR XP, but have been issues with some others I've used.
6th: How solid/vibration free is the outboard/outrigger toolrest assembly, particularly at full stretch.
7th: How versatile is the toolrest assembly for articulation around larger or more complex forms
Sounds like a good trek you have planned ahead of you there. Imagine you will be heading Coober Pedy way about now, and, yes, you can turn opal but you just have to replace all your tools with diamond ones...
Safe travellingStay sharp and stay safe!

Neil, the outrigger is very solid and can handle heavy dig ins DAMHIKT, its more if your stand can handle it. I have a home made job so can comment on the factory cast stands.
Ern, use the head in the 45° position and use the banjo off the main bed with the toolrest reversed for the inside work then use the outrigger for the rear work.
I found this to be a very comfortable position
Ern, did you see me new shed form the hyway!....................................................................

Harry, is your shed the one with the big chimney? If so, yes!
Coober Pedy now for a couple of nights. Saw lots of Western Myall on the way up. So much free timber, and no space at all. grr.
Alice tomorrow.
The outback is gobsmacking.Cheers, Ern

, or maybe start a thread in the Motor Homes, Caravans and Camping section.

Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

Be happy to post pics if they could do justice ... taken a lot but they don't quite capture the size of the place. And using the mobile as a modem for the laptop means with big T you pay for uploads.
Now in Alice after a stopover in Coober Pedy. Real frontier town. 3000 pop and 18 police. If you think you've been unfairly booked for speeding you blow up the cop car or burn down the station. Nice form of community engagement ;-}
Will be looking out for some small pieces of Mulga. A forearm size lump should be good for Ken to do a few dozen finials.Cheers, Ern
