Delta 46-255 wood turning lathe

[Woody1000]

Good evening All, I have finally got myself a wood turning lathe and I'm hoping I have had a result !
Just picked up a Delta 46-255 variable speed lathe on EBay with some tools and a
Bowl turning chuck for £100 all in excellent condition !
But it's missing the tool rest so am looking for a place to purchase a replacement !

Any ideas anyone ? And have I got a bargain or paid £100 to be used as a skip ?

For that money I would expect only the tool rest :mrgreen:
Hope it's as good as it sounds .
The tool rest you could buy the Sorby ones , or get you tool post measurements and try Axminester.

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but are the Delta 46-255 lathes any good its just that I'm picking one up in a couple hours and it was a impulse buy so not sure if I have done the right thing
