March 28, 20224 yr Author Yeah, I didn't really convey what I meant to say. When I realized, it was past the edit period. I meant to say that it would be nice to have more spindle speeds without changing gears. (more than I already have)
March 28, 20224 yr Feed gears should be available new. Used might be petty hard to find. I REALLY like being able to use the calculator and shift levers on mine. It is just so much easier and has a much wider range. Beautiful little lathe, good score. I'm happy it's going to a good home. Frosty The Lucky.
March 28, 20224 yr Author Thanks, Frosty! I definitely agree... shift levers for gears are much easier and faster. It's nice to be able to fine tune to the exact speed you're wanting.
