John if you want a router lathe try Timbecon in W.A. they have a Sherwood listed as available mid 2000 web address is www.timbecon.com.au . They do mail orderprices are around $220 plus GST. plus frieght. regards steve

Thanks Steve. As I said in my post of Sept 1st. I have ordered and now received the Trend Router Lathe. It seems to be a good machine and I think I will be able to do all I want with it. All I have to do now is save up to pay Visa-card for all those Oz dollars that the conversion from pounds sterling gobbled up!
Regards and thanks again.

HI all
dont know if this thread is still going,
Ive owned and have used this Router Lathe and still use it, its an amazing tool, i brought it in 1990 from Izaac Lords in High Wycombe Bucks Were i was born, and lived for 35 years. did my time at Gomm Brothers Gordon Road HW.
been woodwoking for over 30 years now. Now i live in Perth West Australia since 1998.
The lathe is an all round wood or Aluminium turning tool.
ive done some amazing stuff with this lathe, i brought it for 118.00 UK pounds in 1990 when i ran my own company, Pauls Furniture High Wycombe.
i have all the original tools and cutters ans frame, its setup on a 25mm mdf block.

That was 8 years ago! I no longer have that piece of c^*p!!

Please post some pics when it comes. A couple of years back, my Trend rep here said they were discontinuing the lathe but an improved version might be hitting the market. Would be very interested to see what you've ordered...

There was a link in here a while back to an American manufacturer and the thing looked bloody fantastic. A well-machined geared system a lot better than the little thing from Trend which uses cables... (the old one anyway)

I have a full and complete manual and the original templetes for all the styles of turning
