I bought this new at Highland Woodworking 4 years ago and have turned pens and bowls on it and it has performed flawlessly. The only reason I’m selling it is because I’ve bought an even bigger lathe to turn very large bowls and vessels.

All I can say is I loved this lathe and would still have it if I did not give it to one of the vets. If someone gets it that will like how it works.
Also when I called Delta they told me how to take the power off of the top of the headstock and make it so I could cut the wires and make it by my right hand for better control. Just 6 screws and it comes off.

Thanks for the positive plug Arlin.
It's a great mid-sized lathe, now that I'm fully retired I have more free time so I got a bigger lathe - Nova DVR XP.
Have happy holidays and thanks for your service and your work with our vets.
