Hobby Metalworking Lathe
I purchased this lathe on Ebay in Australia for $1650AUD delivered. I had been monitoring lathes for quite some time and finally a brand new one showed up. David runs a great business and is very efficient and has great customer skills. Most of my stuff comes from David. I highly reccomend getting this lathe as I feel it is extremely reasonably priced compared to what you may find in machinery stores.

The lathe has an enclosed gearbox. It has a forward and reverse switch, an emergency stop and a energise button. The energise button merely locks in the power relay that the emergency stop button releases providing the e.s button is out. |
There is a label on the carriage. Dahhh you might say, well it’s purpose is still a mystery to me. The direction of carriage travel is subject to the direction of the motor. You can cut both ways if you like and have the carriage automatically advance.

Here is a shot of the carriage near the head. |
The stand was included in the price of the lathe. It came with a 6″ 4 jaw chuck, a set of reversible 3 jaw chuck jaws, a drive plate, fixed and travelling steady, dead centres, tools and change gears. I haven’t had a need to change the gears, maybe when the current ones wear out……just kidding, maybe when I need to cut some threads. |

The spindle speed range goes from 150 to 2000 RPM. This is a great machine for the stuff I wish to make. |
On my shelves I keep the toolbox along with the steadies. I also keep my shop air, don’t you just love that phrase, I should say my piss weak little compressor accessories on the shelves as the compressor is located beneath the lathe. |

Here I am trying to turn you on. Isn’t this a sexy machine? |
