    Default Wood Lathe

    After something fairly heavy with decent bowl turning specs.
    North West Brisbane, but happy to travel for the right one.

    Cheers
    Ross

    Are you after 1 or 3 phase, and what sort of price range?

    Sorry can't help you, your budget is too small but someone else may have something more suitable in your price range.

    Cheers.
