    I don't know how far you'd travel or how much you'd pay but this might do

    Gday Andrew,

    I have this lathe or sale. it is listed on Gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/yagoo...e-s/1053379180

    i need urgent space so it has to go . If that suits you (with or without the stand) you can have it for $300 (forum members price).

    lathe can fit in a hatchback or station wagon (without the stand) of course . both stand & lathe can be disassembled for transport. or can be loaded one piece on a small trailer no problem.

    quick specs:
    36" 920mm between centres
    18" 400mm inboard diameter
    24" 600mm outboard diameter
    24 index division
    headstock swivel at 90deg
    MT2 hollow headstock and tailstock
    Spindle thread M30 x 3.5 RH(right hand).
    1hp single phase motor
    8 speed belt pulley that ranges from 178, 300, 570, 850, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3000 rpm

    Lathe is located in Yagoona, 2199 NSW

    Had a look at the Hyco lathe but it had a problem. The centre on the tail stock was not extending with pressure when turning the handwheel.
    Also the spindle clamp did not seem to work either. I think there is a missing part but not sure what. left it for now.
    Had a 2.2kw motor

    Yep, these is all expected when buying second hand machinery, good to check it in person (unless it is nearly new and pictures confirm it - this is how I bought my last lathe without inspection).

    A couple of old Toughs on Gumtree might be worth a look

    not sure how far Madeley and Kelmscott are from you though, anything north of the Murray is foreign lands to me!!

    Andrew, there is a Hare and Forbes lathe on Gumtree at present at Blacktown. Priced $150 - it comes with a few chisels, some of which don't look too bad. It also has a Chuck on the spindle - so at that price it would be worth the 2 hours or so to go down and buy it.

    That would be me that snaffle that one up. A bit of surface rust on the bed and two complete sets of tools (one h & f and one other set that feels superior.

    Sorry to beat you to it but I saw the ad and literally dropped everything to go look at it.

    There was one in woy woy 2 days ago for the same price (a woodfast) but it looked like a P.O.S and needed a lot of work doing to it before any turning got underway
