Right now I have a Nova Comet II midi lathe with a 12 inch swing. It is a variable speed, with indexing. I’ve had it for about 4 plus years. The original motor had to be replaced twice...so far. So I’m thinking about a new midi lathe. I can’t afford a full size lathe, that why I’m asking about midi’s. I was looking at the Laguna 1216 lathe. It has variable speed...a 1hp motor vs my 3/4 hp motor. The Laguna can turn a 16 inch bowl on the outboard side...which excites me. With that said, has anyone have an experience with a Laguna lathe...?

Look at the link below please as I am going to see this lathe today. It doesn't look too bad and it's about what I have been looking for. I am thinking with the oil ports it most likely has sleeve bearings. Do you think I can still get bearings for it? If can get bearings for the lathe it might be worth getting. One big problem I could have is the lathe is in a basement and with neuropathy, in my feet and legs, it might be too much. Comments wanted and advice is welcome. https://nashville.craigslist.org/tls/d/antique-lathe-and-older-table/6706426342.html
