Thread: Nova 3000 wood lathe.

Pagie

That looks like a very handy lathe. If I did not already have three lathes and lived a about 1000Km closer I think I would be most interested. Actually, If I just lived 1000Km closer I would be having a look at the very least.

How many bed extensions are fitted, looks like three from what I can see?

What is the spindle thread, please?

Approximate location east of Melbourne, after all it's something like 400k's to the far east; or something like that?

Yes 3 extensions, about 140cm long bed. Spindle is 30x3.5. Near Emerald in the dandenongs.

So how long is it without extensions?

The first length is about 50cm. Swing is 20cm.

Pagie, thanks for that information. Unfortunately the person looking for a lathe has decided to go for a smaller but new unit, which I think is not the best way, but it's the way he's decided to go.

Huon Pine Fan, the lathe is (or was) supplied with two extensions as standard. It is a modular system. I had one of these lathes for around 5-6 years, before I moved upwards in wood lathe land. Extremely versatile unit and if set up well, will do pretty much anything you throw at it.

I myself had three extensions on my lathe, for the first year of ownership I only used the standard two extensions, one day I had a long bit of spindle turning, so I added the third extension. Until the day I sold the lathe, I left that third extension on as it was so handy to have that extra length. Each extension is 510mm in length.

Mick.
