I have a 7x12 Chinese mini lathe. It’s fun but the real limit comes down to lack of power for me.
Somebody is selling a Jet 9x20. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/154278687544137/
I like the idea of a larger lathe, I used a heavy 10 in school when I learned and feel like that size is great. But looking at this jet it sort of just seems like a larger mini lathe. Would this be enough to justify or just another stepping stone to the lathe I really want?
Also fitting it in my basement (in pieces if need be) is preferred.
I’m not entirely sure where prices are right now but I feel something old and similar to the sb heavy 10 is maybe in the ballpark of this lathes price?
