    Default new sherwood lathe ?

    Hi all

    has anyone had a chance to feast their eyes on the new Sherwood MC-660 lathe ?

    From Timbecon's website it sounds like a good starter model, with improvements on the MC1100, but no piccy. Good thing is its in my price range (if I make my own stand)

    Might have to invest in one at the july woodies show in adelaide if its any good, thats if I can wait until then LOL.

    Cheers

    Tony

    I suggest that you move your post to the Woodturning-General Forum. You will certainly get a response there.

    On a side note, I saw the GMC from Bunnings ($66). I dont think it had a stand though. Wonder how long they last before you have to use the warranty...
    J!

    My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked, and its price is competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.

    hi woodlice
    bunning in adelaide have also reduced the price of the gmc lathe
    again, not sure if stand included but was $69 I think
    i think i'll hold out for the mc110 or mc660 when the wood show comes round
    cheers

    Talking GMC Wood Lathe

    Hey Guys!

    Do a search on the woodturning forum about the GMC lathe. There are plenty of interesting threads on this lathe.
    In essence, if you are at all serious in learning about the world of turning do not consider the GMC. If you are a boatie they make good anchors.
