I just got my new lathe!!!

>My 15", 2hp harbor freight lathe just came in and got unpacked. this thing is huge compared to my jet mini. it's made in taiwan just like jet and delta. this thing is solid cast iron and weighs 165lb and seems like a decent machine for the money. i love the varible speed and power.

i know that it's not a oneway or powermatic but it'll have to do for now (maybe oneday i'll own a oneway).

now, i gotta make a stand to put it on and find some big bowl blanks to turn. thanks for listening.

>i'm already addicted! i've been turning small stuff on my jet mini for awhile.

i just finish setting it up on an old bench that i have so that i can get it working. i'll go see how it turns. thanks again.
