that I have the Rikon mini on order and should arive in the next couple of days, is there any need to buy the bed extention:dunno: other than to make a baseball bat for the wife to chase Ken and Vaughn?:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
I think that lathe will be on the market for some time, so if you do need to get an extension, you can, at a later date.

I put an extension on my Nova DVR so I could make some table legs, as the standard version was just too short, but I've found that having the extra length is great, I used to remove the tail stop from the ways when I was bowl turning, no need to now, just run it down the end of the extension and it is well out of the way!! :wave:

I think the Rikon with an extension will do well for things like stair spindles and chair parts.

But, like I said, I see no need to get one right away, unless you really do want to make that baseball bat :D
