"IF" you are not turning now and think you would like to get into turning,
Turning is a whole different aspect to woodworking and a fortune can be
spent on equipment and tools before you even know whether you will like it
or not.
I would strongly advise to buy close to entry level, but a decent brand,
lathe and start off with carbide tipped tools, something equivalent to
"Easywood Tools"". You really only need 2-3 of their tools to turn almost
anything and they do not require any sharpening equipment.
I have owned 2 different lathes for 30 plus years and never really got into
turning until the last 5-6 years.
It takes years of practice to become as proficient with a lathe as you are
with a table saw. You may not like it or have the patience.

Ha ha! In all seriousness I throw very little away. That which I do toss gets burned in a wood stove in the backyard with the kids and a few marshmallows.
Better to resaw off what you don't need than to plane into useless chips. That's what I tell myself anyway :)

Nice! I used to do some amateur wood working but nothing like that. After the table saw "oops, brain fart" I kinda lost interest (and a finger). I do appreciate nice work though!

Thanks for that Lew! Saved.
I wonder if the router collet extension can stress the router bearings from the added leverage?

Yes! I agree 100%. That'll be my next big purchase. I keep drooling over the Powermatic 3520B. I need to convince my wife that I "need" that much lathe. :)

Very nice, Brian. Now you need to get a lathe and really turn out some bowls.

With out question there is added load on the collet end bearing;
however,
you are not going to add enough load to cause problems if you only
take 1/16-1/8 cuts and let the cutter do it's job.
IOW, don't get in a hurry and try to force the cut.
Take only enough material fast enough to prevent burning.

Just remind your wife that bigger is better because size does matter.

Brian - you waste so much walnut with your oversized cuts - but fear not,
because I'm right here behind ya brother. Just send all those cutoffs to me
and I'll put 'em to some use.
Oh yeah - nice tray.
