100% They were fine for what they were, but once you use a big tool you just can’t go back. I think there is plenty of room for innovation in hobby machines, but IME, hobbiest value work envelope maybe even more than pros. | ||

Given that the Gingery books folks are shutting down as well: https://gingerybookstore.com/ one wonders what the other alternatives are. I mentioned Taig elsethread, and the Unimat is still available at https://thecooltool.com/en/ --- for opensource there are a couple of options: - https://www.lathes.co.uk/multimachine/ - https://www.printables.com/model/89657-3d-printed-wood-lathe... and I've been debating on getting a small Grizzly G0745: https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-4-x-6-variable-spee... Are there other notable approaches/options? | ||
