Craftsman Professional - 15-inch Variable Speed Bench Top Lathe (Rating: 5)

I bought this lathe used 2 years ago from my neighbor who also turned bowls with it. It's powerful and easy to use. It will turn up to 38" spindles and turn 15" bowls inboard and up to 20" bowls outboard. I have made about 100 bowls with it and the only issue was the cooling fan belt slipped off once, easy fix. The headstock and tailstock are aligned perfectly and it accepts all the popular accessories like other brands. It may not be a Jet or Nova, but it is built tough and has served me well.
