GOOD VIDEO.. I HAVE A VERY HEAVY LATHE IVE HAD FOR TWENTY YEARS PLUS AN SHE SITS ON THREE LUMPS OF R.S. Js...WELDED TOGETHER AND RAWBOLTED TO THE FLOOR IT NEVER MOVES VERY SOLD...N.S.W. DAVID..
Tip Number 6 that just missed the cut: Get a lathe that is Heavy. Cast iron is best as mass is your friend with a lathe, especially if you plan on turning heavier items like bowls and vessels.
@@joeyaldente8858 I'm not overly familiar with the Rikon Range of lathes but that is about what I would be expecting to pay for a good electronic variable speed model in Australia. Hopefully someone else can offer more specific advise about the Rikon Lathes themselves though :)
