King Feng Fu WL-5
I had a look at one of these lathes today and after googling which bought up limited info i'm wondering if anyone knows something about them, or has one, and is it worth throwing $150 at it?. For my limited knowledge it seems to be all there with a bunch of chisels some sanding cylinders and a finishing wheel.

Never heard of the name. What does the rest look like?

From the size I'd say it was one of the cheap Chinese light weight framed lathes good to make a buffing wheel or boat anchor with. Save your money and look for a cast iron bed lathe

It wasn't until i left that the thought occurred i should have taken more photos. It is a bench top model and definitely has a cast iron base and rails. I found something on Lumberjocks that said KFF come from the same factory as Delta.

Ok good it is cast but without seeing it hard to say. Still a small lathe and probably not worth $150 IMO, I was looking at a Woodfast old school lathe for $100 not so long ago
