never seen one of these cheap it is 220 and not sure if it need to be rewired https://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/tls/6070613495.html good for pool cues i guess Looks good and the price seems reasonable. Only $600 for a quality spindle lathe. 16" swing. Only potential problem is the motor. 1 hp and I bet its 3 phase. Uses pulleys for speed. Plate says 50 hz. So European motor of course. Europe uses 3 phase. $600 plus a new single phase motor and you end up with pulley variable speed. Maybe not a bargain for a home woodturner in the USA. |
