As the title suggests I have an old metal lathe, most of it has been stripped down but it would make a pretty good woodturning lathe, at the moment it is in the yard under a tarp, and it is raining...no pressure.

If I don't have any takers it will be scrapped next weekend.

It is as is where is. Weighs about a ton, bit sad but it is an abandoned project of mine.

Cheers.

Russell.

Motor is 4KW from memory (three phase), oil lube system seems to work, no chuck. Headstock and gearbox are all intact, I removed the saddle and mechanicals as I was going to CNC it.

Forgot to add lathe is in Babinda, if you don't know where that is then you may be too far away to pick it up...

Babinda! This would have some milling heritage then. Hopefully it finds a new home.

btw very sad to see the old sugar mill flattened. :((
