I agree power strip with surge protection inside is best way go and turn off power before you leave your hobby shop.?
I to have lights on strip and all power tools it also to stop fire.?
Just think of leave with solder iron. But light on solder in strip and turn off lights no power to iron. It keeps the lathe safe from power spikes.
Maybe it should in title the Plus of Power Strip for mini lathes
I was writing about because I do want any to have to buy a $150.00 and up power board for a mini lathe.?
