Just an after-thought, Tom, why would any one want to drive a Lambo or Maserati on a dirt track at top speed ???
Not that it can't be driven there.
Many moons ago, when I just started out knifemaking, I had a wooden Bandsaw and did all the conversions, Geared Motor,no Pulleys, proper speed reduction etc, but the bloody poor thing just could not reach the torque of a metal machine. OK. - comparing a Metal lathe to the Wooden Bandsaw is chalk and cheese, but why would experienced Gurus muck up their precision machines for small wood-turning jobs, yet they all can afford to shell out for a small Wood lathe.
Beats me !!!

why have something that will normally sit in the corner and be used only occasionally, when you can do the odd wood turning job on a metal lathe without any damage?.
