Saw this lathe on Ebay - what do people know of it?

[SWR]

Hello All,

Found this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Woodfast-Wood-Lathe_W0QQitemZ270280744231QQihZ017QQcategoryZ92083QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's a woodfast so it can't be that bad...starting price is $450 but it strike me as being pretty old.

Is it still something that will be okay (given its mechanically OK) and useable for many years to come or should I hold out for something a little more modern?

If so what do you think is a fair price for one (and does anyone know the model number?)

Cheers,

Scott in Peakhurst.

looks pretty good :)

just as long as the centres still line up and you can live with the set speeds, i rekon you should go for it.

Going by your other thread eg: budget etc, I reckon that one is made for you. Will still leave you enough for a chuck and some other toys too!:U
