Lathe for a beginner

[John Hall]

Have a look on YouTube at the Warco 180, or 250….will give you an idea of size and price…
look at Ade’s Workshop

remember that the larger the lathe the heavier it is mine took 5 strong men to lift onto the base if you don;t have enough people to lift you will either need to buy or hire lifting equipment. If attached to a cabinet then some sort of moving skates if the workshop is easy to access
