Red face router lathes

Hello,

I am an amature wood worker. My ambitions are to make fine furniture. I have an almost complete shop. I'm currently researching router lathes. Any input as to the most popular would be a good starting place for me.

Sincerely
James

I've got a legacy 1500, it's awesome.

www.legacywoodworking.com

I picked mine up used, saved a fortune. make sure it's complete if you do, buying accessories can be a bit spendy.

Welcome to the Router Forums. The Legacy as Doug says is top of the line from what I have read and heard.

Sorry Bob, didn't see your request. Scroll to the bottom of the thread linked below, it's the middle picture

http://www.routerforums.com/tools-wo...yoru-shop.html

I'll try to take a few more pictures, but basically it's the older version of the Legacy 1200. The newer ones have heavier bearings. I do not have the side dust guards, I just wheel it outside.

Hi Doug

Thanks,, That's looks like a great tool

May I ask what you had to pay for that one, if you don't mind ...
