Good Evening Everyone
During a recent demonstration I felt that my demonstrating lathe (a 10x18 bitsa) ran out of steam. OK I appreciate that my subject, a 9 inch diameter platter made of beech was a bit ambitious, but I am thinking should I upgrade this machine with one having a more powerful motor, perhaps with variable speed control, or by perhaps buying a better demonstrating lathe that will fit in the boot of my car would be a better option. I would prefer one with a 1 x 10 tpi thread and 2MT tapers. Any ideas anyone?
