    Bench or floor stand pillar drill & bandsaw

    I've seen Rexon ones go for £50 - £70. Taiwanese, and decent enough kit. Most Korean or Taiwanese is.

    Bench or floor stand pillar drill & bandsaw

    The problem there is mission creep - you'll always want to drill something you can't fit or hold on the lathe.

    Newbie turner....

    Shopsmiths are a multi purpose machine - useful, but not especially good at anything. I used one for 20 years, I wasn't too sorry to sell it on.

    Apparently since DEI has been largely ignored by U.S. universities the number of Asian students has increased, the number of blacks has decreased. Not the original plan. In W.Cornwall we have NHS literature sent out with details of where to go for help in sixteen languages - Farsi, Tagalog...

    And it's invariably a coloured man and a non coloured woman, not the other way around. The thing with cringeworthy ads is they've done their job - the brand name has imprinted on you.
