Many Thanks

I have this one listed on gumtree: Teknatool 1624-44 Nova Woodturning Lathe | Power Tools | Gumtree Australia Belconnen Area - Spence | 1053147879

It is $1200 for a forum member. It is in Canberra for pick up, but I can put on a pallet for transport. It can turn long stuff because it has an optional bed extension on it, and also you can turn big bowls and platters because it has an outrigger, and the head swivels. I can provide more info/photos if needed.

Looks like it will do what I want, so guess approx another $500ish for travel & chisels then. Would like to find something a little cheaper and closer but will definitely keep it in mind.

Yep, it would help with offers if you specified your budget. As I said, I can pack it up on a pallet, and the shipping company can take it to Newcastle for around $200. (did a quote for Newcastle for simplicity).

probaby $1500 ab-max for everything I need, if I can get away with with a good lathe cheaper than that then great.... then i can spend my cash on some of the other billion woodworking things I need : )

Thanks Brett, one thing I just realized is that I want the option to do long legs 900 or 1000mm. Sorry only new to these lathe things.... gettin there

Just come across this one, no idea what Im looking at?? Woodturning Lathe | Other Tools & DIY | Gumtree Australia Great Lakes Area - Forster | 1045736366

Ask seller the model number, and year it was made - then try to find specs. Looks pretty old.

With the Hyco 965 is about the longest I can turn on mine. I do like my old Hyco.

Talked to the guys, he was a bit vague on the details, looks like this one though http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0008-...00mm-swing-ove

Fair price difference!

What you want is something that has 1500mm between centres.

Not many lathes made that way at all

Vicmarc did make some that size but dont see them on the market all too often

That would be sweet Jim! I'm always looking online for used equipment but this is Newcastle, so I dont like my chances.
What would you guys say the Hyco is worth, maybe I'll just make an offer and see.......?

It looks like that machine has been sold.

Sorry not that one, this one in Forster http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/forst...the/1045736366

Was thing of making an offer but happy to wait if you guys think its a bit over priced? I have no idea..... got to be better than a chinese one?
