Hi Kelly,

I don't know how much you are looking at spending but here are a couple of possible solutions.

Thermwood offers a rotary playback which allows you to machine turnings. You can view some of this here:

You can also visit our Production Sharing members on our thermwood.com website and I'm sure that some of them would be more than able to produce turnings for you as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason,

This is precisely what I am talking to the local rep about right now. Seems like it is lower cost than buying a lathe and gives me flexibility to cut sheet goods. What time is needed to re and re the spindle? I may go back and forth between sheet goods and turning quite often.
