Item Description:
Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.

3/4 HP motor, 1PH, currently wired for 115V
4 speed
12" swing
39" between centers
L 60" H 47" D 16.5"
Comes with three tool rests (12", 6", and a 90°) and 3" faceplate. Will toss in a four or five lathe chisels I have as well. (nothing special, but they'll get you started!)


I have replaced the power switch, installed new wiring to the power switch, swapped the V belt for a link belt, found a replacement for the original tailstock wrench, and made new oak knobs for the belt tension lever and headstock pulley access door.

The lathe runs, but the centers are slightly out of being co-planar, which is reflected in the price. Adjustments to the headstock might help the issue and maybe some tailstock shimming but those are tasks for the next owner. I've still been able to make turnings around the issue. Otherwise, lots of life left in it and a lot of lathe for the money: heavy and sturdy (350lbs according to manuals available online). It's admittedly more lathe than I require. I've moved down to a slightly smaller one more suited to my needs. I'd rather this lathe be in the hands of someone who can appreciate it rather than just sitting in my shop.

Selling as-is. Cash only. Buyer responsible for removing it from my ground level workshop. (There is a slightly raised threshold leading to the outside.) The lathe is particularly top heavy and there is not much to grab onto. Strongly recommend bringing someone who knows how to move heavy things as I can only offer some limited help getting it out of the building. I am an unable to assist loading it into your vehicle. I can decouple the lathe from the base ($50 extra) which makes it much more manageable for moving.
