Is the Oneway lathe really $3000 better than a Nova-3000?
This one is a non-question. There is no comparison. The Oneway is a heavy, full-sized, heavy-duty lathe that weighs almost 900 pounds. The Nova-3000 is a very good medium-duty, medium-sized, medium-quality, 200-pound lathe. The Nova will perform well as long as you recognize its limitations and don’t try to make it into something that it is not. But, that is true for any machine. Even a Shopsmith makes a good lathe, so long as we recognize its limits, and stay within them.
