and if your "sitting situation" is comfortable 
Raven you gave me a chuckle with that one because sometimes one needs to run away from the lathe (or spade bit) really really fast we do try and avoid this but chit happens

well PNG

thats why i mentioned it....because some people prefer to stand
and others may want to sit on a stool like i do which is easier to bolt
from (than a chair) if all hell brakes loose...personally i can't static stand
in the same place for more than fifteen minutes....and i've told many a grocery
store manager that i cannot stand
in a grocery line
for very long and could you please
call another cashier up to an empty register otherwise i'm going to have to abandon
my purchase and i always get my way....it's in my gaze and "a little jedi mind trick action
of suggestability sent into his head before i ask" ... too i have to be leaning, walking ,or sitting.

Raven,

I've got the Grizzley 8690 now. The 2 center points are not lining up and are off by about 1/4" so I figured I'd research for a new lathe. Not too sure now...might save a little money and stick it out, might make the splurge.

I got into this about 3 years ago and I'd like to try some new things, Bats bowls etc. Might just bite the bullet and make the splurge...maybe?

Thanks to all...seems like a tight race between them all
