VICMARC - VL300 long bed wood lathe . -electronic variable speed-chucks - face plates - chisels and many other bits and pieces.He was an exceptional wood turner , winning many grandchampion prizes with pieces turned on this lathe.

No pics available at this stage but if you are interested these can be arranged.

Price - $3500 the lot .

This type of lathe does not come along very often - second hand.

Can't understand the lack of interest in this lathe? These don't become available s/h to often.

Yep, I am surprised as well. That's a very good price, IMHO

Further, why don't these happen in WA??????????????

I need a Vicmarc, although I need a VL 600. Sorry to hijack the thread, how about 'bump'

I would love it, unfortunately I don't have the space or the money at the moment to buy it.

They dont seem to happen in Melbourne either... and you can bet if they did they would only happen when I am not cashed up

Can someone please buy it so i dont have to keep looking at it?

Cheers

Yep, i know the feeling. I was in the market for a replacement large cast iron lathe and as soon as i bought my new one, 2 VL300's come on the market. Only problem it would cost me around $1000 round trip to collect one.
Thats life, lets hope someone gets the bargains,

It all looks well used and no matter how well cared for is a big unknown factor which is that much harder when looking from a distance. At $3000 with the all the chisels and any other accessories it would be a more attractive offer and I could consider the 3000+ round trip to pick it up if I had the money. If it is still there by christmas I will revisit it and see what options might be there.
