For Sale Record CL2 variable speed

[acewoodturner]

I have a little used lathe for sale. I have had it for a few years now but it has always been kept in a centrally heated workshop so there is no rust on it at all. I converted it to variable speed long before Record thought about it and I think it is a very good conversion. It now has a more powerful motor than the original CL2 and the rpm go from 0 to 4800 approx with full torque. Not only that it also has a remote control and a reverse switch! It comes with a bowl turning arm and the curved bracket.
As you can tell from the photos it has been brought out of the storage area of my workshop so I havent bolted it down again, but it can be seen to be working.
I am looking for £400 for it which is only £50 more than the conversion cost. The bench isnt included in the sale as I still need it and I dont think we could get it out the door anyway. I am in Glenrothes in Fife and would be happy to deliver it within a reasonable radius. Its possibly too heavy to post but could be put on a pallett for pick up by courier at buyer's expense naturally.

Sorry Mike, not a buyer, but just to say that I have a CL1 that I have put a 3ø variable speed motor kit on and it really does make such a difference.

Like a new machine and at £400 yours is a bargain..

Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know what the difference is between the CL1 & 2?

I think it's mainly the headstock, and therefore probably the bearing as well.

I am however only basing this on occassional use of a fellow forum CL1 and specs/pics of a CL2. The latter seems to share the casing with the CL3/CL4 but only has a 3 speed pulley arrangement and lower spec motor. I didn't think the CL1 had a swivel headstock either, but then again the model may well have changed over the years.

Still don't understand where the CL5 fitted either!

Better take another look at the OP Post Date Folks.

Oppppppps !!

As it had just come up at the top I didn't look at dates? Still a bargain for someone if it's still up for grabs??

My CL1 is about 15 years old and had a twisty head when I got it. I also have the same bowl turning extention as has the OPs

I don’t know for sure @Craig Smith but I’d guess not as the thread is 10 years old.
