I am interested in starting turning, so I have been looking into the different lathes that are available. I was hoping to get some advise from you experienced turners as to what would be a good starting lathe.
1) It would need to be 110V.
2) What I am interested in trying at first would be canes/walking sticks (so the ability to turn longer items would be necessary) and pens.
3)Bench space is a premium in my shed so I would want something that could have its own stand or be a stand alone model. That way I could move it out of the way when I wasn't using it.
I would like to get a quality tool, as the HF items I have tried so far have not impressed me. I have looked at the Grizzly G0462 and G0624 with an extender and stand. If you have one of these, how have they worked out for you? Any other recommendations in the same price range? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
