Anyone used this lathe? There's one for sale locally for cheap (95€). I am going to look at it tonight or tomorrow. I have an old Coronet Major lathe at the moment, I am happy with the lathe, high quality whereas the scheppach brand is only mediocre (the model looks solid enough from pictures though). But this lathe has two important things my current lathe lacks:
-Headstock clearnace is massive on this lathe, my current lathe is limiting me, I want to turn an entire stool seat on the lathe but I cannot.
-5 speeds, going down to 100rpm, that is excellent, my current lathe even with the retrofitted 1400rpm motor is too fast most of the time.
So any opinions on this lathe? If I got it I'd sell the Coronet, probably with the original motor put back on, i paid 320€ for the Coronet IIRC.
