Seems quite a high starting price? There doesn't appear to be a toolrest or tailstock with this unit, no details on hp either.

Looking at the pics. I am a bit bewildered by the "AS NEW CONDITION" statement

i wouldn't buy it! looks to old! the price is to high! and now you mention it WHERES THE TAIL STOCK AND THE ACCESSORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why they want $950 for it i dont know and how did they come up this "as new" the thing looks like its 30 years old! and abused!

thanks for showing but i don't think the price is right

Fred it's a Woodfast bowl turning lathe. We have one at the Illawarra Woodworkers Guild. One day I am going to have a go at it. The tool rest and tail stock have probably been lost over the last 30 odd years, still unless you know of this model and can check everything the price is a bit exey.

Looks like a M408 or M410. Originally worth about $3k when new with all its bits there.

Defintely overpriced as offered.

I'm soooo sick of seeing sideways photos in eBay listings. Pretty lazy.
