Hello Gentlemen,
After going back and forth I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Delta 46-460. That same day, Amazon decided so suspend shipments! The boilerplate reads:
"This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."
Does anyone know the real reason for this? I've read lots of good reviews on this model (mostly here) and a few regarding broken switches and trouble getting parts. I really like the features of the Delta for my first "real" lathe, but the suspension is giving me pause. I'm hoping it's just a packaging or description problem.
BTW, this is my first post after lurking for a year or two. I've yet to come up with a question that hasn't been asked and answered many times before. Thanks to all who post such excellent advice and tips.
Jim
