I purchased this lathe new. It sat in the box for approximately a year before it was used. I have used it infrequently for the past 4-5 years, mostly small items, tool handles, ornaments, bowls and such. I have several other lathes so this one needs a new home. Picked up in stokes county $500. Delivery in the triad for a small fee. Now the bad news the casting has a crack I was unaware of till about a year ago. It doesn't seem to affect function or operation of the machine pictures included. More or higher resolution pictures available on request. DM or woodmold-at-mindspring-dot-com
