Hi Guys,
I think I'll have a go at turning, and have been doing some research.
It's looking like I'll get the APTC Perform CCSL lathe - anyone here got any hands on advice on what it's like? It gets good reviews, but you know what reviewers are like sometimes
I'm only looking to do small bowls really, maybe some spindle turning (goblets or similar) but not really taken by the whole pen thing, although I suppose I might be in the future.
The CCSL comes with the bed extention, which I guess is handy for if I want to do some longer spindle turning, though I really can't think what I'd want to do at the length they go upto (39"...)
So my two questions:
1) Does anyone have any experience with this machine
2) Does anyone have another lathe which would be good for me, that they would like to sell, in the CCSL sort of pricerange (£100 ish)?
Cheers,
Sam
