Bought this Nova lathe about 6 months back and have since upgraded to a larger lathe. This lathe offers great value for the price! One of the more powerful motors in its class and capable of turning something up to 16 inches. Included is everything you need to get started including a good assortment of tools, a pinnacle scroll chuck, live centers, spur drives, and a couple other things. This lathe also comes with an additional 20” bed extension in case you want to turn longer objects. One of the great things about this lathe is the pivoting headstock that allows you to turn outboard. I have enjoyed my time on this lathe but like I said I have an even larger one now. I included a picture of one of the larger bowls I have turned with my boy for scale. This one is located in Colorado Springs and is listed at $1000.
