if you really want to do it right Bevan, buy it and ship it this way...my B'day is coming up real soon

Bit misleading to put the price of the motor sine they come with one anyway.

The 6 speed bench mount doesn't come with a motor, AFAIK. I could be wrong though. I think it's just the lathe and the motor pulley.

I bought the last VL200 to turn up on ebay and I'm very happy with it. Beautfully solid and accurate. Got lots of goodies with it too.

The 1/2 hp does sound a little light on for a lathe with 400 swing and outboard capabilities though.

Cheers,

The price for a 1/2 hp motor is very optimistic and you would want to buy another more powerful motor in any case.

I've had a bit of a look at the lathe. The tools are 3 gouges and some scrapers made from files. Had a bit of a play and yes, I think it is a little underpowered. It's a 94 model as well. I'm not in a position to bid but it might be ok for someone. I reckon the opening bid is about the right money.

Ed. I can arrange to send it over for you. Just send me your bank details.
