I am looking at upgrading from my 70-100 now, not sure I like Rikon's next step up because you still have belt ranges even with speed dial, I think 3 different ranges, but just starting to look, maybe they are all like that. I do like the Midi size lathes though. I have had this one for about 8 years now and ready start doing more. Thanks for the video.
@WoodenThingsAndStuffКүн бұрын
My Laguna is like that (3 belt locations) but I can get 80% (or more) of my work done in the middle gear because of the speed range there.

The handle bracket on the headstock side is a mystery to me. They want people to lift it by this or is it for holding tools somehow if you have it hanging past the end of a bench. You can fold it down and that is all weird.

Whats the difference between a Midi lathe, and a Mini lathe
@FearsomeWarrior2 күн бұрын
Size. Midi is a medium mini. All about the swing and length. Many put it in the model name. 1221 is 12 swing and 21 length for example. Mini lathes are basically pens only.

Thanks for the review. I know it was a while ago. Do you still use this jointer? I am new to woodworking and interested in buying one. I’m slightly concerned with the 1 hp motor and whether it is strong enough. I see another budget model Vevor has a 2hp motor about the same price.

Two things: first, I've never had a problem with the power of the machine. Second, I've purchased one thing from Vevor and let's just say there won't be a second.

I do have a question... Which has a greater wingspan, and albatross, or a canadian goose? Actually, Penn State sells a variable speed motor, for around $150, that could make that lathe variable speed. Looks like a nice machine. Are you going to put a small layer of wax on it to make the tailstock and banjo slide easier and protect it from rusting? Rikon makes quality stuff.

Thanks for the video. Yes you will like the vari-grind attachment. You should use it right in the beginning because you will reduce the grinds without grinding half your tool away. It’s good for fingernail grind, bowl gouge and side or Irish grind. Vari-grind 2 is even better because it increases the ease of use. I’m surely going to enjoy sharpening my turning tools a lot more
