Hi everyone,
I’ve been sorting through searched threads on here but couldn’t come up with a general consensus on which maybe the best direction to go in for my situation.
I’m a full time,production arborist who recently got into porting my own saws. I’d like to pickup a lathe to advance my work and see if this is something I want to stick with. That being said…. Purchasing a used, full size unit is most likely out of the question due to space and time constraints. With a young family and full time career it’s not likely time spent searching for, repairing/rewiring a lathe to be used occasionally would be well received.
That’s led me to checking out the newer, ~$800 mini lathe’s and tooling. Is this something any hobby porters have made work or a waste of time and money?
Thank you!
