[DIY] Re: Metal Lathe vs Wood Lathe

Someone else will have to evaluate the Harbor Freight 14". I know a lot
more about metal lathes than wood lathes. But a wood lathe is not a high
precision tool (I've seen Popular Mechanics articles on how to make one at
home out of timber), so it's a fairly good bet this one would satisfy you,
and HF has a good return policy. The best thing to get first might be a
book on how to use a wood-turning lathe, which would give you advice about
lathes, chisels, etc.

>>>>Michael Taglieri"" Mentioned A good example of this is in the
latest Harbor Freight circular. They have a wood-turning lathe with
14" swing and a 40" bed for $84.99. (#45276) This has a big enough
swing to make large bowls, etc. and a long enough bed to make posts
for colonial furniture and other large objects, and it weighs 88pounds
so you could easily carry it into the house and set it up.<<<<<<<<<<<

What do you think of this lathe. Would it be a good one? Its well
within our price range.
What should I look far in Features on the Lathe? And what about tools?

Thanks again for all your help.
