up grade

just got my new nova to replace my old jet junk
dave came over and helped me install it
this is one nicccce lathe
the head stock dose pivot but dose not slide on the ways .the banjo is a lot bigger than jets so you can turn in the outbord mode much easer than jet .
think im going to like the nova
craft supply had them on sale for less than the jet 1442 plus the give you a bed ext. to make it a 44 in bed the legs for it are not cast iron but very stable for this lathe
so now its back to turning lets see how long the honneymoon lasts

honneymoon over motor dead on new lathe back to squre one

LatheKiller!!!

Seriously though, you need to tell them about the fix!

what fix? don't tell me he ripped the motor out of the old jet!

I have a wand I could lend. You can try that "Lathus Repairum" spell with it.

how long before i kill this one?

just put motor on ITS ALIVE >ITS ALIVE .
