Where you going to find 500 Volt power supply???

Bottom line, is that to a degree, YES you can use a metal lathe for
some wood turning, but considering that you can buy a woodlath for
from under $500 to well over $2000, you would probably be better off
with a dedicated woodlath

Good day to you all,

I have an opportunity to buy an old 1960 metal lathe (boxford - The
"9" swing screwcutting lathe)20A 500V

My question is:

Can metal lathes be used for woodworking?

If yes what should I look out for?

Thanks

In hope
