Ok the wife has deceided she wants a mini wood lathe. Looking at a Nova Comet II right now looks like nice machine that can be expanded to a 40in lathe with an expansion bed.
Any one have any insight of this lathe.

I've no idea when it comes to wood lathes,Our local aldi has them in for £80,tempting but I don't think I'd make enough use of it.Now the Myford super 7 metal lathe at work, now that will be mine one day.
Well I've finished researching underhammer pistols for the day so I've spent a bit of time researching the comet II.Seems to be pretty well thought of as a light to medium duty lathe.there's a few negative reviews on the wood turning forums,but also a lot of positives as well.
If you can snag one for a decent price it should be a good buy.Some of the resident wood workers will have a much better idea than me though.

I'll put the question to the guys at the woodworking forum I frequent - lumberjocks.com/forumsOn a side note, if your wife is interested and likes to talk/see wood projects, she might want to check out Lumberjocks. That's where I go for all things related to wood and I love it there. (big ol' sub forum just for us wood turners too) |

Thanks already ordered one, it will be here in about a week. Thank to everyone who has gotten one of my knives or axes you are allowing me to buy or up grade my equipment. Now buy more stuff still have more things I want to buy.
