Rikon 1216 VS midi for $229

I saw this deal and it looked great but passed. I checked and the tech at Woodcraft said there was no bed extension for this model. I have been wanting a lathe about this size but really want the bed extension option. Jim.
 
As it happens, I have a Jet mini bed extension looking for a home. Heavy sucker. Would need pick-up which might include a meet up, depending on where you are. :)
 
I ordered a lathe today, the Rikon 70-50VS from Highland Hardware in Atlants. A few more dollars than the 1216 but I can add a bed extension and has variable speed. I think it was a good deal $301. to the door. Now I will pick up some turning tools and wait for my first wood lathe. Jim.
 
Congrats on your first wood large, Jim. :thumb: That one should work well for you.
