I have never lathed before and wanted to get into it for my son who wants some bats made up. I have a small budget to work with and am looking at the Harbor Freight model 34706 12x33.
My question (and sorry if its a repeat, I couldn't find when I searched) is can this lathe be extended? I need a 33 inch bat and would like some wiggle room. Also if I want to do pens, do I need a mini lathe also? Is it "delicate" enough?
Thanks for any response or tips you can share for doing this.
