Woodturning Wantabe

[Doc0055]

Hi all,
looking at geting into wood turning, as something different to do with wood.
Would like some coments on this lathe on e-bay, would like to have a small start up cost. Then on day upgrade to a better lathe if i, like so many on this forum get hooked.
Thanks in advance

Good lathe at least Pat says so

[DJ’s Timber]

Good solid unit from what I've seen on the one I had a play on

[RETIRED]

I had one for many years and as DJ said, solid unit, however ask the seller if it has the banjo and tool rest.
They will be hard to find if not.

I have 1 banjo in stock gathering dust

All it need is a tool rest but I am sure we can organise that as well.

Thank you for all the input, might look at buying it.

Well I picked up the lathe today, 6 hours of driving. It runs like a dream. Been a great weekend, power was put onto the shed on Sat (70m of 3 phase) and a new lathe today.

Now to turn something.

PS Jim, I am interested in the banjo that you have. As there was not one with the lathe.

Cheers Scott.

Scott, glad to see you get the TL. Obviously I missed this thread on the first run, but as Ray said, I have one and am having fun with it. Any photos? If you need to know something about the lathe, post it here and I maybe able to help.

Thanks for that Pat, will keep you in mind if i have a question. Got a new banjo today thanks to Jim Carroll, cant wait for it to turn up so as I can have a play.

Also got hold of a user manual, e-mailed Teknalool. And they e-mailed me one.

Cheers Scott
