    Default Woodfast M305 Midi Lathe

    Both are exactly the same

    They are a midi lathe because of the dimensions.

    Midi lathes generally have a 300mm swing where the mini lathes are a 250mm swing or smaller.

    They are on special till the 11th of september 2011 for $359.00

    Hope you enjoy your new toy when it arrives. It is a popular little machine, I and quite a few others have one.
    I could not be happier with mine.
    Enjoy.

    yeh me too .... i have an old lathe at the moment that does not have a morse taper. ive been wanting to have a go at some pens and im thinking even if i spent some money on the old lathe to get a morse taper set up on it that the old girl might be a little rough for pen turning. the woodfast is cheap enough and a lot of people seem to think there a good thing.
