In the pages of the Craft Supplies catalog, the Woodfast 20" lathe and the
Vicmarc VL300 look awfully similar in design and configuration. I realize
both are made in Oz, but I'm curious as to which came first, and if a
disgruntled employee of one company left to start the other, or what?

Does anyone have knowledge of these two lathes and their history?


A quick look reveals that the VIC is a _short_ lathe, mostly for
bowl-turning,(max 500mm)
while the Woodfast i a _long_ lathe, which also can handle long spindles
(max 950mm)

Otherwise both seem to be very good value.
