I have been turning on a VS Jet Mini and was ready to step up to a full size lathe. This is what was delivered on Monday. A brand new Stubby S750.

I have loved making pens and I will continue to do so. I got a larger machine so that I can do larger bowls, platters and I would eventually like to learn how to turn hollow forms.Originally posted by JimGo

I use an older Stubby 750 fairly regularly when I am teaching, they are wonderful lathes. The one my club owns is only a 1 1/2 hp model and is a bit underpowered on really large turnings (15 to 20 inches) but that has never stopped me from using it. If I had the money that would be the lathe that I would get. I am very green (envy of course).

Very nice [] Definately on the heavy duty side, the way things use to be made.
Happy turning.

Never heard of that brand lathe. It looks like one honkin' heavy duty turning machine.

I would like to know if you are planning to sell the Jet? What shape it's in and how much. GT
