WANTED: Lathe for newbie

[Green]

Hello everyone

Not been around here for a while...

I am looking for a lathe to get me started in turning - something that can do longish spindles (table legs etc.) and a bit of bowl/faceplate work.
Ideally I'm after something along the lines of the Axminster/Perform CCBL/CCL level.

I have an Incra ultralite, Xtreme Xtension and an alloy router insert (Rutlands) if anyone would be interested in a part exchange?

I'm just south of Edinburgh on the A1 and am willing to travel a couple of hours each way to pick up.


Thanks for looking

Thanks Loz

That looks like a very good buy. If he was closer I would snap that up.

Anyone travelling between the Cambridge area and Edinburgh soon?
We're only 10 miles from the A1 and 7 from the M11 :wink:

Doesn't look like anyone is volunteering, Pete
