Simon. Do you have a curved end (for hollowing neck of piece) flat 8mm tool?

I’m planning to swap my lower range lathe for something like that. How does that compare to coronet regent from record power? Record Power lathes seem to be pretty well covered on the various tests whereas DrechselMeister, Twitter, or Stratos lines have just few reviews.mostly in German

Super tour à bois, mais lots of problems with the control box

Hi Simon. I love the machine but still waiting on part of my order from last July. Is there any “hope” of receiving the remaining items plus a replacement for a part that was broken on delivery? Thanks!

Nice lathes but the price went up way to much in the last decade: they went from a good deal for a middle class lathe to nearly the pricerange of a Zebrano or a Oneway which in my opinion are much better equipped . you can feel it in the smoothness of the pinole, the quality of the banjo, the bearings and the hardened support.

I love my FU 230 Simon beautiful lathe

Very well produced overview Simon, I love my XL and am sure it'll out live me!!! 😀

Great review have you got a video on the vicmarc vl300

그 장비는 집중해서 파는 것인가요? 궁금합니다.

Suggest you stay well clear of this company. The owner Simon Hope is arrogant and unprofessional. I ordered a lathe from him and he refused to honour the order because of access problems to the property. He cancelled the order without discussion, and was extremely unpleasant on the phone. I will never deal with him again.

I seriously considering buying this lathe later in the year. As I turn a lot of multi axis spindle work either 2 or 3 axis I'm wondering if this lathe will be stable enough at fast speeds bolted to a heavy bench. My current lathe (a CL1) shakes itself to bits if I turn the speed up.

Amazing tool, but I can't afford it. I guess that's why you only have 14 comments. How many have you sold?

What a perfect explanation of how to use a cup carbide. Thank you Simon 👍

I opted for the Baxter jig. Two main reasons. One was years with the Bonnie Klein jig. The other was that it goes onto the lathe spot on in line/square to the lathe bed. Also, I learned the hard way that if I make a box the size of the one you make here, it can and will move enough so that you won't be able to get the lid off.

Hi pip squeak. I use it for deep end grain hollowing and it amazing. Just fit it in a hope handle for the deeper stuff. Best tool I’ve ever bought.

Can this be used for deep hollowing of end grain ?

Is that the wood cream that is waterproof Simon? How many coats does it need?? Cheers, Gav

That's a really sexy machine. I'm nowhere near being able to work at that price point. But that's clearly the one to shoot for.

Awesome nice video,great to see you 👍,

Greatest woodturner

As you know Simon, I've just purchased this rig from you, and I can't wait to put it to use. A good clear instructional video. Thanks for the excellent service you provide and for the quality tools you supply. All the Best, Mark Beckett

Is this lathe available in the USA?

Im so glad to have this one at home in my workstation... it stands on a solid bench, i drill, wood turned with it, also made some smaller wooden wheels... it worked out pretty fine, the best lathe i call my one, thanks Simon for the presentation... heavy duty class super midi bench lathe

Hello can you explain and demonstrate the indexing system please i.e what its for and how to use it.

I absolutely love mine! Great to see your video of it. Definitely glad I got this and not the RP Herald or the Laguna Revo 12/16. It is such a reliable little workhorse and it doesn't feel like anything has been compromised to make it a midi. I certainly haven't had to make a compromise based on my requirements. I've had it for a year and three months now, and it is a pleasure to work with.

excellent overview Simon. I'm extremely happy with mine, and would highly recommend it.

Good job

Hi Simon, That is an incredible finish. I will check your website out. Take care. Cheers, Huw

Wow, that’s my next need to have!

Hello I bought the FU-200 with the extension which comes with an extra part (looks like it maybe a support leg) but I do not know how it connects to the extension, any ideas?

Nice video Simon! Do you know someone called Brian Wetton?

Fascinating I ont need one yet I’m sure 😀

Is it possible to add an extension also to the headstock end therefore lengthening the lathe a further 400mm? or is it not advised, by Stratos. Seriously looking at this lathe so would be interested in your comment.

Just wondering, would it be more conviennent to have a lathe that has three pullies like the Midi Pro or two like the FU 180. Am guessing two because one needs to change less often. Would that be correct?
