I'm considering upgrading to a new midi and have focused my search down to the Delta 46-460 and Turncrafter Commander 12" Variable speed models. The Jet 1220 Variable speed is a close third (I have a very old 1014 and love it). I like the reversible feature of the Delta so it has a slight lead at the moment.
I'd appreciate any comments from anyone with experience with one or both of these lathes. Santa will no doubt bring one of them!
Also, in order to use the reversible feature with a Oneway Talon, do I need to lock on the chuck in any way?
Thanks,
