Wife’s New Lathe

[MRDucks2]

Well, new to us anyway. Got it set up at the proper height for her to begin turning. Less intimidating for her that the old Powermatic P90 with VFD added in the background.

This lathe runs smooth as butter. Will add some weight to the lower shelf but will work nicely. I am sure I will be using it, also.

Who knows, may be time to get rid of the P90…

That is a really nice lathe! I should have bought one for myself I'm sure you fine folks will enjoy using it. The P90 sure takes up some space.

That's the same lathe we have at home and absolutely love it. Hope she enjoys it as much as we do.

I was just looking at that lathe this week since there's 15% off Rikon at Woodcraft.

I look forward to hearing how you like it. Congrats!

I am in the shop more than she is, so she will never know.

It is! I got it second hand off of some guy outside Indy who says he is retiring. Again.
