I'm mainly a furniture maker who, now and then, needs a round component - anything from a knob for a drawer to a leg for a table. I dont have a lathe, but at last I have space for one.
Since this will be a "need to" rather than a "want to" purchase I would like to keep the cost down. What is the best way to go ? Budget machine of possibly poor quality sounds risky, if I buy a mini lathe, will I end up frustrated with it and buying something full size anyway ?
What do you advise ?
