Looking for a wood turning lathe

moby30 · 2012-01-20 21:52:53

Hi I am looking to buy a lathe. Ideally a record with 36" between centers or something similar. I am also looking for a small size lathe just for pen making. If anyone has one for sale or could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Be sure when assembling it to put the straps in the correct place. If they are wrong they will twist the bars and cause vibration.
