April 23, 20178 yr Those of you that have made this upgrade to your lathe: how do you like it? I have read a lot of comments and watched Utube videos but,alas, can not ask questions. I am retired so have lots of time to change speeds on my lathe. Enlighten me please.
April 23, 20178 yr I don't have this lathe but my next lathe will be reversible and be able to turn at very low speeds. My current lathe lowest speed is around 400 RPM- too fast for starting large, rough blanks. Reversible is nice for some sanding operations.
April 23, 20178 yr Ron, I belong to another forum where one of the guys did just that: here's the thread that followed, may have some things of interest. Good luck, I'd be interested to hear your opinion if you do it.
April 23, 20178 yr Author Thank you Fred, that helps with my decision on whether or not to do the upgrade. If I decide to, I'll add my experience.
