Howdy all,
I'm considering purchasing a lathe after the first of the year. For those of you who are also turners, I have a couple of questions (ok, a few).
Can I turn little stuff on a midi or full-size lathe?
I'm leaning toward a Jet full-zize lathe as I've been happy with my Jet tools but am open for others to look at. I had looked at the Carba-tec mini but I think the lathe will end up getting used as much for furniture as for little stuff so I'd rather just buy one once.
What would be considered a good basic set of starter tools for the lathe as well?
How often do you need to sharpen the chisels and such?
Thanks in advance.
