I want to buy a lathe for $ 1,000 or less. I also don't want to have to buy a bigger and better one down the road. Since it will only be used on weekends as a hobby it doesn't have to be top of the line.
I also realize that I better plan on adding another $1,000 for accessories, tools and sharpening equipment.
I really like the JET model 1442 vsk with cast iron legs. Everything I've read about this machine seems positive. I welcome any suggestions on any other machines and also videos and books for a newbie.
Thanks
Rick
