Hello- I have been a weekend wood worker and have recently retired making everyday Saturday! I am looking to upgrade my lathe from my circa 1955 Craftsman model. The two models in contention are the Laguna 1216 and the Jet 1221 vs. After agonizing over these two (and considering what I am using now ) I have concluded it isn't going to matter which one I get; however, if anyone has a red flag regarding warranty, customer service or other issue with either model please reply. I will mostly be turning spindles until I figure out how to turn bowls. I am looking forward to being part of this forum and picking up insights-thank you in advance for your ideas.
You can see my tool which is about my age and why I feel either machine will be an upgrade.
