I'm trying to sell my Jet 1220 lathe to purchase a metal lathe. That being said I have a couple questions.
I checked out the 7x10 toy at Harbor Freight yesterday, and I don't think I want one that teensy. They list a 8x12 for $549.99 and the 9x20 for 699.99. I'm hoping I can use one of these 20% off coupons that I've got from a bunch of different magazines which would make the 8x12 439 plus tax and the 9x20 559 plus tax. It says in stock merchandise only, but I hope the manager will work with me on it.
Given those two models I assume most everyone would chose the 9x20? Any drawbacks to the bigger lathe?
I'm obviously going to put a QCTP on the lathe and some of the other modifications I've seen on other sites, but anything else anyone would recommend?
