Guys, Guys, Guys
U ought to know better and who am I to argue
Just an after-thought, Tom, why would any one want to drive a Lambo or Maserati on a dirt track at top speed ???
Not that it can't be driven there.
Many moons ago, when I just started out knifemaking, I had a wooden Bandsaw and did all the conversions, Geared Motor,no Pulleys, proper speed reduction etc, but the bloody poor thing just could not reach the torque of a metal machine. OK. - comparing a Metal lathe to the Wooden Bandsaw is chalk and cheese, but why would experienced Gurus muck up their precision machines for small wood-turning jobs, yet they all can afford to shell out for a small Wood lathe.
Beats me !!!
