I use a delta midi for all my pens and small pieces and nova dvr for my bigger pieces Howard

I am using a Central Machenery lathe from Harbor Freight. It is full size with a castiron bed, variabls speed, and the head will rotate 90° to 180°. I have never had any trouble out of it in the 7 years I have been using it. It only cost ~$210.00 on sale.

Like John, I have an old Delta Rockwell, which I've turned all of my pens on, but I'm getting ready to start using my Jet Mini.

The Shop Fox mini---still have a Grizzly mini but still need to fix it and will use it for backup. The Shop Fox is working out really well for me!!!

I use a jet mini now. Before that I used a shop-smith, big dinosaur!
I am saving for a full-size jet (if anyone wants to donate for the cause, you will receive your reward, in heaven)[}]

Fritz, you gotta get some beaver, you don't know what you're missing. It's the American equivalent of getting some 'tail' if you know what I mean[]

I started with a Grandpa shopsmith 10e which I saved from the scrap heap..cut the tubes down to make it a monster midi lathe. Finally had enough scheckles($) to buy a jet mini.Now grandpa is semi retired inverted and is my drill press, and I happily turn away my pens on the jet..[]
