I am new to wood turning and have been shopping for a lathe. I have googled for information on first lathes and specifically the craftsman 15" lathe package #21750 and there does not seem to be alot of conversations about it. This lathe looks to be fairly well built and comes with some accessories that I will need to get started. I have looked at the Delta 14" and the jet
12" and think they are nice machines but wonder if they are worth the extra money.
With the lessons I have learned on table saws....I agree with the Buy as much as you can afford motto...I just cant see where spending more on the delta would be worth the money.
I have other craftsman tools and I know that they are made by many manufacturers and the quality varies (sometimes on the same tool), and I can also see that in the Delta tools that I own.
Any tips would be appreciated.
