.........Ain't no stallin' that lathe.
...........I have had a couple of instances when the tools have caught and the computer kicks in and stops the motor instantly. It is great no worries about some mad spinning lathe still running while I race for the off switch.
Anyone looking at getting a lathe I can highly recommend this one it is fantastic.
Congrats on the lathe. You are going to love it. I tried one out and the DVR. I ended up getting the DVR but both are fine lathes.
Tim I am shocked that his GF could have lifted it as it weighs a ton. I had a job lifting it off a spacer block that i was using to install the stand. Really heavy.
She was quite the girl, that one.
I carried it up OUT of his basement (in Connecticut) and down INTO his basement (in Vermont)... but I used a hand truck. When she carried it down that first time, she did it by hand...
Drew,
Congratulations I really like mine. Like you explained the safety catch feature is great for a new wood turner. You learn quick what not to do. They have three settings on that feature soft, normal, and hard. Now you just need to get it buried in shavings.
