This is the 2nd Lathe that I have owned. The 1st one was a 40″ Harbor Freight Tools. It was ok for learning on but they could not provide repair parts. I purchased the NOVA COMET II MIDI LATHE t months ago and I am impressed every time I use it. The difference is like night and day. The power and versatility far exceeded my expectations. I have turned 6 bowls and sold them all. I love the electronic speed control and the ability to reverse the rotation. I highly recommend this lathe for anybody that wants to get into wood turning

I purchased this Lathe, Model 46300 Nova Comet II in June, 2019 and love how it performs. However, I did find a couple of weak points. The drive shaft pulley set screw loosened after a couple of hours use and required tightening using pliers to amplify the allen wrench power. I now check it every day to be sure its tight. I also broke the tool rest where it connects to the stem. It was replaced timely by Teknatool but I’m planning on purchasing a much better tool rest to use. The one supplied also needs to have the finish filed off the top to allow the tool to slide more easily. Other than those two issues, I’m very happy with this lathe.

I purchased this Lathe, Model 46300 Nova Comet ll New Version, in September of 2016, after selling my Jet Lathe of comparable size with an extension. I am SO HAPPY that I made the switch! The ease of working with this Lathe, and my dealings with Andrew and Jon Ford down in Saint Petersburg, just made everything all the better! While I am somewhat of a beginner Turner, I am having a ball making Pen’s with this Fine machine. I can’t wait till I start on other project’s like bowls and such! Thank You Teknatool…….
