Does anybody have a Delta 46-460 Midi Lathe?

I bought one at Rockler back in December (2009) but have not set it up yet

Health reasons have prevented me working in the shop.

I am curious how people that have used them like them.

I am just about there!

Leo, sorry for responding so late.  Hopefully by now you are enjoying your lathe.  I purched the Delta 46-460 Midi Lathe
 a few months ago - about the time you posted this question.

I'm new to turning, so I can't comment on the Delta vs other lathes.   I do enjoy the lathe.  It was easy to install and it appears to be working well.   Not to long after setting up the lathe and stand, I purchased the extension bed and stand.  I was truning a small cup and needed to remove the tailstock in order to reach inside the cup.    With the extension the tail can slide well out of the way.  I am pleased with the extension.   It took a bit of work to get the two beds to align.   The instructions were very helpful.

Time will tell if the midi was the correct purchase vs a full size machine.   For now, I'm very pleased.

Let me know if you have any questions and/or problems.


Joe
