I noticed in yesterday's Craigslist an ad for a Delta 46-700 lathe for $100
that appears to be in excellent shape. I'm not into turning at this point
but I'm willing to jump on it if this were considered a real deal. I can
always come up with an excuse to justify it if I had to.

Anybody got an opinion about this particular lathe?


Most who have say stay away. Noisy, mechanically unreliable, and the
"finish" on the originals will scrape the skin off your arm if you brush
against it.
