Hi, look for some advice and hope you guys can offer some.
Thought I would start off by saying I am new to Turning, I can create a Bowl and basic pot puree bowl, the finishing is rubbish so need to work on that.
I currently own a Record DML24 and have upgraded it with a DML36 swivel head. I would like to upgrade this machine and am considering the Axminster AW1416VS. I do have concerns on two fronts, the first being due to the 41Kgs this machine weighs how it would deal with off-set timber, I imagine i would have to chase it round the workshop, not that I would have to chase far as I only have a small shop (7X12). Does anyone have experience of this machine with out-of-balance logs?
The second concern is the maximum over bed diameter of 13 1/2 inches, not really sure if I will need anything greater than that really but just something else to consider.
How many turners turn bowls/platters that are in access of 13" and how frequently, is this type of turning specialized.
