    Default Wood lathe x TAFE mainly for faceplate work.

    I’ve replaced this with a Wadkin RS so time to move it on.
    260 centre height so will turn 520mm in dia.
    About 600mm ‘tween centres.
    No 2 Morse in both ends.
    5 speed by outside V pulleys and link belt.
    I fitted an old fashioned C & H variable speed 3 phase motor unit.
    Used to put it on appropriate pulley to rough and crank up the speed with my foot.
    Suggest converting to VFD if you only have 240v.
    About 12 faceplates, Spur driving centre and tailstock centre.
    2 banjos and a couple of disc sanding set ups.
    Brake on headstock, using your had as the caliber you can stop this in seconds.
    This is heavy, probably 300 kg plus.
    I will have to remove the motor unit to get it out of the area it’s in.
    Possible Delivery Sydney now if you can unload.
    Once lockdown over and borders open Brisbane no probs and Melbourne maybe.
    Asking $750.

    Bump on this also it’s now in the way.
    I can supply a 2hp single phase motor to go with it.
    Or a 2hp 3 phase motor so you can fit a VFD for speed control.
    Bottom pulley would need to be fitted.
    Can deliver Sydney etc.
    Any offers?
