Sontax H-1000

Hi folks,
Have never heard of one before in my limited turning exposure, are they any good or am i better off holding out for an old Touch or Woodfast or Vicmark?
Many thanks

I have never heard of one, is this the one?

Never heard of them either. Just looking at what you get(if it is that one on Gumtree) I think the price is a lot on the high side. For similar money you can have a brand new lathe in the same basic class. In fact carbatec has a 3/4hp MC 900 type lathe for $449. Just an example as I am not trying to flog carbatec gear. I would be looking around some more.
Regards

Yep thats the one! Will look around some more, probably a bit on the small side as I want to do DECENT sized outboard turning. :)
