Thought I’d post a heads up here.
I have a lathe for sale in the Machinery section headed Wood lathe x TAFE.
Its from Ultimo Patternmaking and was one of 3 they had made.
Its mainly for faceplate work with 10” centre height.
So it would swing about 520mm in Daimeter.
It has a cast iron flywheel of about 350mm dia in the headstock with a wide smooth polished rim.
This is to brake the work for checking for accuracy with a vernier or calipers.
Using your left hand as the caliber it works as a disc brake and can stop the lathe in a few seconds.
If anyone is looking to upgrade from an old Woodfast or Hyco they might be interested.
Happy to demo or you can test turn yourself.
Its very heavy and will be a pain to get out of where it is but I have a Wadkin RS so don’t need this any more.
I’ve a flat top ute and can deliver in the Sydney area if needed.
