Well, I finally got my new Nova 1624-44 after being on layaway for about 6 weeks! I brought it home and set it up this afternoon. Seems like quite a cool tool. I didn't turn on it for very long, but I roughed out a couple spindles and messed around with rolling a few beads, etc....
Right now I am gearing up for an inexpensive promotional campaign which involves making a bunch of prototype turnings for the architectural market. I am trying to start an architectural turning business, and with this lathe I can do the spindle work much more efficiently. (My big lathe doesn't have a proper taper in the headstock, nor does it exceed 1300 rpms very easily.) Can't wait to make some finished spindles!
