Anyone have any thoughts on the new Nova lathe that is currently being featured at Woodcraft? Might be interesting with a 16in swing and expandible bed.
Brent,
I too am looking at that one, I think for the money it's a lot of lathe. I also thinks that it would be easy to through on a variable speed drive system and it would be in a class with the DVR.
I'm very happy with my Nova DVR 3000, if I were now looking for a lathe, and I did not have the Nova DVR 3000, the new Nova 1624 would be high on my list.
That said, if I had the money, I'd own a Vicmarc VL 300
I think Bruce Shiverdecker just ordered one..........
One other lathe that I'd be looking hard at is the new one by General Maxi 25-200 looks like it might be a winner, really depends on how much you want to spend I guess...
Then there is the Rikon 70-500, it looks good too.........
