I ordered a 12X28 lathe several weeks ago. Requested it be delivered yesterday.
The local freight company doesn't do residential deliveries on Monday, so hoping for the best today!
The 12X28 was chosen because it had a clutch on the feed rod, and would be easier to fit in my incredible shrinking garage. The relatively short length and wide body, I hope, will aid rigidity with out needing massive weight.
A bench model is preferable because I wanted to mount it high enough see what's going on with out getting a crick in my neck, and be able to do some clean up underneath with out stooping.
Then storage space is pretty slim in the lathe stand world. This sits in my garage waiting for the lathe. https://rhinosafe.com/rmi-ktc4355dg-tool-chest-43h-x-55w-x-23d/
