I have just about had enough trying to work out whats going on with the MC900 and its stupid wobble. The recent service has done nothing to fix it.
I am considering biting the bullet and getting myself a new lathe. I havent got a lot to spare, prob no more than $1000 and thats not going to go down well with the boss. I am tossing up the options for possibly another MC900 or even considering a Jet 1220 midi variable speed ... I am not concerned about the over bed swing, 30cm is more than I think I will need for a long time. I am mainly doing small bowls, hoping to develop skill for lidded boxes etc, and pens / other small kits. Are there other possible lathes within the range which will suit ? I realise the Jet Midi will need a bench to sit on so there will be more expense there either buying or building a bench but I am leaning that way. Also I think there is a newer version of the 1220 - the 1221 ... so do I wait ... anywhere else I should consider looking ?
