Hello to all,
I have a small Ryobi lathe. My father bought it, never used, and I ended up with it. You all know this part of the story... "out in my shop one day I decided to play... two days later I started getting the shakes and really needed to turn something..."
Anyway, there are several things I don't like about this lathe, and am considering buying a new one. I would love to buy a larger one that would allow me to turn larger items, but I do still like to turn smalll things (pens, mini-bowls, etc.) So here is my question. Can a full-size lathe turn the small stuff just as well? Or is the larger lathe "awkward" when turning small things?
Thanks for you help!
