    How many lathes and why?

    How many lathes and why?

    Similar to me, I'm selling my south bend 9c as I find it useless for me with the short bed and small spindlebore. I'm in need of some thing with larger swing. But debating on purchasing another small lathe with power feeds as well and then save up for a larger 12-14 ish swing lathe later on.

    How many lathes and why?

    Curious to see how many lathes people have and why? I have noticed a lot of guys have 2 lathes. Does each one do a specific job or did you start small and grow?

    Dominion 13" vs colchester 13" differences?

    Thanks! That was quick to help answer my question. So what I'm looking at is a dominion 13 mk1. I would have to say it's a master as the one I'm looking at has a longer bed.

    Dominion 13" vs colchester 13" differences?

    I have the opportunity to pick up a dominion made by colchester 13" lathe. Are there any differences between the brand names? Also what is the difference between a student and a master? What do they typically sell for? The seller wants 2700 it requires a bit of rewiring and some tooling included.
