I know the 12" Delta 46-460 lathe is realatively new and there was a thread about the time the lathe was released for sale. Looking for an update from new owners. What do you like and not like about the lathe? If you had a do over, would you buy it again?
Thanks,
Rick Taylor
 
Get the OCtober Woodworkers journal. They did a test of all lathes of this size and picked the Delta as #1.
I have yet to turn on one but have played with 2 different models in the store and they are very sweet mini lathes.
