Evelyn and I went to Woodcraft this morning and I picked up my new Rikon 70-220VSR. Wow what an amazing lathe. It's really solid and smooth running no vibration what so every and really quite.

Dan, you got a beautiful relationship, and a great new toy.

 

[robutacion]

Congratulation, it looks quite well made...!

Is that 400, the lowest RPM...???

I don't think that, I have saw that model before so, what excuses are you going to have now...???:wink::biggrin:

Just joking...!

Cheers

Thanks for the comments. Of course it clean I've only made one pen. I'll try a dirty it up in the coming days. George the read out in the photo is really 4070 RPM.

Keep them ways clean!
