Basically the same lathe as this one

Nice set of tools to go with it, but I couldn't see the standard access such faceplate, spanners etc., but I could have missed them

Good set of Sorby tools, but be careful not to overspend on this package as the starting price is already about where I think it should be.

Edit:

Just had another look at the pics, there is a chuck key for a wood turning chuck there, but no chuck. Be worth a question to the seller as this could increase the worth of the package.

This is considered a starters lathe, I started with its' smaller sister the MC900. The variable speed is nice to have but has some mechanical limitations.

There lots of threads on this forum about MC900/MC1100 lathes, some searching and reading would be of assistance in you decision making process.

Thanks Big Shed, the listing only raised one eyebrow and I thought the starting price was a little steep. This is why this forum is so good, the advice is invaluable.

Have o agree with your thoughts on the price SJT. I think you will do better with your money.

The price is not realy that steep when you consider that the Sorby tools would be worth that without the lathe
