Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Nova 16x24 lathe ! There is not a lot out there on this model! I have a friend that has one ! I just ordered a new one! I have been using a old craftsman 12” x36 “ and wanted to step up to something bigger! Thanks for going over the details of your lathe! The other lathes are very expensive! But this one looks like a good starting point! Thanks again for your time! Regards BobLee
I have the same lathe Steve. I’ve been turning over two years on it with zero problems. Excellent lathe for the money. Just because I turn a lot I ordered the DVR motor for mine and love that too. No more switching belts which didnt bother me but saves time
Hell yeah brother. That's a beauty for sure. You definitely have plenty of power. I'm looking forward to see what kind of pieces you make on it. I am super stoked for you brother. Congratulations!!!
First of all, Steve, it's just nice to see someone that knows how to do something. Wiring, drywall, very cool! That is a lifetime lathe you've got for yourself! I know just how exciting it is to get something like that. You feel the whole turning world is at your fingertips! It is! Congrats, Steve, great video and a new subscriber! Phil
Well thank you sir. I have about 40 years under my belt in construction.. Thats why all my joints hurt LOL... First project on the new lathe this weekend...If I dont kill myself there will be a video...Thank you for the sub..I just made it over 800...
except he doesn't know what he's talking about AT ALL when he talked about "draining my new upgraded electrical system, and needing the BIG 220v wiring". He's the reason for the national electrical code and why homeowners doing their own electrical work tends to burn houses down
Thank you man...I have saved so long for this thing. You have a family you know how it is..Kid needs a car..kid needs school clothes..got to pay the..Dr. bills... mortgage...This thing better be good ...
Wow, so many cool things about this. I like the extra you got. The outrigger. 👍 I look forward to seeing that used. Extra cool how you can get so many extras. Glad you did this video. Very cool. Even just as cool to see you upgrade your garage. That is yours. : )
Congratulations my friend great choice on the lathe That should make your woodturning experience much more pleasant. Great investment on the outboard turning jig as well, Now lets get turning, BTW nice job on the drywallBe safe and happy turning
SWEEEEEET TOY!! Loving the diamond plate device covers...#3 for the service feeder? A shame your like a 9 hour ride away... I just had some #2 copper which is good for 100 amp...if your area will allow, look into mobile home feeder cable. typically direct burial and would be rated for 100 amp as well... also should be maybe shelf item at lowes or HD.. GOOS LUCK and WEAR A SHIELD those chips will be a flying..LOL
Hi Steve. I am about to buy this lathe. Can you share experience after using it? I need to turn bigger bowls, and this lathe can offer it. But my concern is next, when you changing head position, will not be the thing, that you will loose center in long term? Do you think, this lathe will not loose straight line in long term?
It has a positive lock up at 90-45 and 0 , so it should not lose center... I recommend that you bolt it to the floor ..It is a little lighter then the old time lathes . I think you will be happy with it..Thank's
Hi from across the pond One Big Q that's worrying me How Rigid and Accurate is the TAILSTOCK on these Lathes ??? I need drill most Pen Blanks without comprising ACCURACY Do kindly let us know TIA ATB TC aRM
I am very happy with the tailstock. The heaviness of it was one of the deciding factors for me. I have put a lot of pressure on it , turning very heavy pieces . No slipping , no wobble . the center points on this lathe lined right up. The quill is heavy and stiff , as far as drilling goes. Thanks for watching .
hell yeah steve thats awesome brother . i like it alot . with the new dry wall the lighting will be better to and the vibration will be better on the camera to man going to be doing lathe videos like a super star brother . very cool man . great toy . should have saved this for cast iron wednesday lol just joking brother . super excited for ya man cant wait to see what you do on it . god bless brother .
Thank you dark..Am thinking about a camera mount fro the ceiling on a swing arm, that way I can get many angles with out remounting the camera all the time...
