Re: Wood Lathe List
|
Thanks. Didn't think of warranty but it probably should have been included. Maybe someday I'll take the time to go back through the list.
I did give some thought to distinguishing the drive types but unfortunately it was too difficult to glean from the info on the various manufacturer's websites. Even some of my "Non-VS" vs "VS" vs "EVS" designations were sketchy based on the info available.
For those who don't take the time to read the lead-in page let me repeat a snippet:
Quote:
It should be strongly emphasized that specifications alone are NOT a good indicator of the quality of a given lathe. I have made no attempt to rate or judge the design, build quality, ergonomics, etc of any of the lathes listed.... Potential lathe buyers are strongly encouraged to do their own research beyond the scope of this list. On-line woodturning forums are an excellent resource for information and feedback regarding a given make/model of lathe.
EDIT: In hindsight, maybe it would have also been a good idea to indicate whether they were constructed out of cast iron, stamped tin, or aluminum foil.
