| Registered User Forum King  | If it were me I would go for the Nova G3. It will be a better fit for your lathe and 10 yrs. old would worry me a little bit but that is just me.

| Registered User Forum Geek | Good luck when you get started turning. In the meantime read everything about turning you can. Suggestion, when buying tools don't always be swayed by prices . Not the best way to decide on a purchase. Mitch |
