I've been happy with my Delta 46-455 midi lathe for pens, stoppers, spindle work, and small to medium sized bowls, but I want to go big.
I want something that has outboard capabilities, variable speed, 1 & 1/2 horse, and reverse at a minimum. More in the power dept would certainly not be a bad thing.
My local woodcraft had two Jets, but one was only 1 HP, didn't have reverse, but did have outboard, and the other was 1 &1/2 HP, did have reverse, and didn't have outboard.
Anyone know a solid lathe that meets my requirements? Also, would prefer not to go over 3 grand if I can help it.
