I have the delta 46-460 and it is a fine machine, but now that I am trying to learn to turn between centers this is just not working out. My problem is with the tailstock. In my opinion, after using my powermatic 90 tailstock, this is far from precision. When moving it there is slop, but the big problem is the spindle lock. It creeps loose. So my blanks just slip after a few passes.
So does anyone really love their lathe and especially the precision tailstock? Electronic variable speed with readout would be nice, but the tailstock is my #1 priority. If i find something like, then I may sell the delta or make it a stand alone buffing station.
