I turn pens, bowls, hollow forms, etc. in my home shop with a Nova DVR XP. I spend many weekends traveling in my motorhome when I would like to turn pens (and only pens). My idea is a small portable lathe held in a Workmate outside my motorhome. I enjoy the variable speed of my DVR, so I would like the RV lathe to be variable speed. I want have MT2 chucks to fit my current pen mandrel, drill chuck, etc. It should be light enough for my 67 year-old body to lift and carry.
So, I am considering, in no particular order:
PSI Turncrafter Commander 10" variable speed
Jet JWL-1015VS
Grizzly T25926 10" x 18" variable speed
Laguna REVO 10x16
I left out Harbor Freight on purpose.
I am looking for comments from people who have ACTUALLY USED such a lathe or can suggest another lathe that would work for me. I can read feature lists and spec sheets; what I need is actual experiences from users.
