I guess, I'm trying to avoid the 125 pounds of the 1221 but, do not want to give up some feature that is important.
Continuing my research on lathes and other than dependability, smoothness, overall quality, and warranty, I am curious about the importance of some of the features. For my use, mostly pens but, up to door knob size items how slow a speed is important (500, or 250, or even 60 like the 1221)?
Also, what about reverse. How and when is it important?
I registered for an intro pen class in a month but, want to be prepared then to purchase and start turning. I consider variable speed a must for me.
Appreciate information along this line.
