    Default New Member / New Lathe

    Hello,

    I have been lurking in the back ground for some time reading the articles etc and decided it was time i posted something.
    Today i bought my first lathe a Leda H-1000, 1hp motor, 350 turning dia, 1m between centres, varible speed lever. it came with a sanding disc and end table, a long worth chuck(laser cut steel), a centre steady.

    It had one owner from new purchased in 1999 for $1200.00. I paid $500.00 for it and it has been looked after well and seen little use. The gentleman only got rid of it as he purchased a larger lathe and already has a smaller one and had no need for one in the middle.

    I would love to post a picture of it but not sure how to on here.

    Regards
    Allan

    Welcome- I havent been around long either - well on the forum anyway. Hope you enjoy your new toy, sounds much flasher than mine, but then my lathe is probably older than me!

    Leda's are nice solid lathes. They're not bottom-end, that's for sure, and I'd say you've a good buy there.

    Enjoy!

    I doubt you'll need to replace it with a "better" one, although odds are that you'll buy another that'll better handle the extreme (for that lathe) sizes. Maybe upsize to a larger or maybe outboard lathe or buy a mini.

    Enjoy!
    I reckon he meant a better photo skew damn it .

    Congrats on the new lathe and also learning how to post pics so quick . I'm a bit slow ( like skew tonight ) and it took me a looooong time .
    Regards
    Rick
