...And I saw one of these;
531161 - Buy Wood Lathe Swivel Head W/Stand 1100MM Model - MACHINERY | Gasweld (http://www.gasweld.com.au/531161-toolex.html)
Now, granted, I know very little about lathes, but this unit seemed pretty solid, and reasonably priced. While I am on the lookout for an old Woodfast, Tough or Record, these are pretty interesting.
Could any of the veteran turners offer an opinion on these? My local Gasweld proprietor said the price was easily lowered, so if I get the cash together, and a nice older machine doesn't surface, this is definately on my radar.
Should any of you find yourselves in or near a gasweld, if you could pop in and have a look to give your appraisal, I'd really appreciate it!
Cheers,
Pete
