This Woodfast Lathe for sale on eBay (Glenwood, Sydney) could be a good option for someone. May go for a good price as it has a 3PH motor and that may deter most home based woodturners. However, variable speed (VS) controllers use 3 Phase motors (but run on 240V), so that would reduce the cost of modifying the lathe to VS operation. Fully investigate to see if it would be compatible with the VS conversion kits that are available.

Those Woodfast lathes models purchased by schools are very sturdy pieces of equipment. I have an old one that I expect will see me out.
