I'm thinking of buying a metal lathe to turn wood/acrylic/metal pens. Do they work as well as a standard wood lathe? Thanks!

George, I don't think you're the odd duck at all. I would think that the bulk of people use both lathes, myself included. Both types have their strengths and weaknesses. When Chuck was buying his metal lathe he was thinking about selling his wood lathe. I told him, don't do it, you'll be sorry:biggrin: I can't think of the last pen that I didn't go back and forth between them.
