Lurker First Post

Greetings turners,

I am a year in to this and now have a shiny new Record DML 320.
I jumped in at first and got a nasty Clarke 1440.
I will not miss it.
I have spent a fortune on all the desired bits n' pieces over this past year.
I have no desire to turn pens, boxes, bowls and some segmenting work is my bag.
Hope to have some pics to share sometime soon. I would love to hear from any other 320 users and their views on the machine.
Based in London, kettle is always hot.
Happy turns.

Hello and welcome

Welcome to the forum.

A big welcome from me too Pryere. You have learned by now just what a slippery slope this turning lark is. I've only been turning for about 23 years and still learning lots. Not buying so much now though :mrgreen:

I had one of those bad boys for a couple of years. Nice little lathe, really nothing much to dislike as I recollect. The manual belt change is a bit of a pain but easy enough when the access cover's opened up, but that's really the only gripe I found with mine. Mike G thought it would make a good boat anchor though :lol: - Rob
