No need to bid against each other, he seems to have a truck load.

I recall seeing a lathe almost identical to this one (with a GMC lable) in Bunnings a couple of years ago. It had a piece of wood in place ready for spindle turning. However, someone had wound up the screw on the tailstock. The tailstock and the headstock were at an angle of about 10 degrees to each other as the frame had bent.

AFAIC

As far as I'm Concerned,
They make their profit on the "Postage and HANDLING":rolleyes:


Anything else for them is CREAM:(

Looks like a smaller version of my Dyno. It needs to be bolted down to the bench to give it some stiffness.

It is a very special lathe.
you put your blank on it and do marvellous spiralling (not with the wood but with the lathe itself) :) <O:p</O:p

Hmmm, you could throw the lathe to the shistenhouse and keep the four jaw chuck.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I have one o' them in my shop. 'Twas given to me when I first started turning, to "complement" my mini-lathe, ... and about a fortnight later I went out and bought an MC-900 to replace it.

However, I've a non-turning friend who bought two, bolted 'em together and made a very nice four-poster bed. I guess ignorance really can be bliss. :D

It probably has more value as scrap metal!
