Hi guys,
Just looking to see what other users of the benchtop style lathe (e.g. Jet 1220, Axi 1218 etc) do with their lathes - I have one and i use it on a workbench, but find that it sometimes is a bit rattley for larger pieces, obviously especially if they're a bit uncentred.
Do others find that these lathes are better if bolted down? I do like to be able to maneouvre the lathe a little getting into bowls and that...
Thanks, as ever, for your thoughts!
