This Delta Midi Lathe is in great condition and ready to make many turned projects as pens, bottle stoppers, bowls, etc. This unit is about 5 years old, but it is still a current model so you can purchase a bed extension or floor stand if you wish (not included). Currently this lathe is selling for $965.90. I am including the pictured pen making mandrel with a mandrel saver ($19.95 plus $23.95 – Penn State Industries). I am also including the chrome 3 1/2" and 6" tool rests as pictured as they are better sized than the stock tool rests for making pens ($43.95 – Penn State Industries). If you were to purchase this all as new, it would total $1,053.75 plus tax and shipping. I am offering this lathe bundle for $350.00 which is less than 1/3 the cost of new. I had some additional funds recently and purchased a Nova Neptune lathe, so I no longer have need for this duplicate equipment.

Here are the Features and Specifications copied from the Delta website:
Features:
- Powerful 1 HP max, 1,725 RPM Motor
- Large 12-1/2 in. swing capacity provides the largest capacity in its class
- Electronic Variable Speed with three-pulley speed ranges provide the required speeds needed to turn a project without changing belt position
- Forward and Reversing function allows the turner to achieve a superior finish. Sanding a turned piece with the grain causes the wood fibers to lay down and remain rough. Sanding a turned piece against the grain will cut the wood fibers smooth. Rotating the turned piece in both directions is the way to achieve this super smooth finish. With our competitors the turner would need to remount the work piece backward to achieve this dual rotation. This is time consuming and often impossible. With the DELTA® 46-460 it is a simple flip of the switch.
- Patented belt tensioning system for easy and quick speed changes and sets the belt at the correct tension every time for maximum power transfer and longer tool life
- 6 groove belt provides superior power to turn large objects
- Indexing pin to lock the head stock spindle in 24 different locations for fluting and other decorative applications
- All cast-iron construction provides stability and is extremely durable
- Over Headstock On/Off switch provides easy in use access
- Ball-bearing live center
- Includes 3 in. face plate, 6 in. tool rest and 10 in. tool rest. Turning long spindles require either a longer tool rest or the user to continually move the short tool rest. Turning short work requires a short spindle; the long spindle will not allow the turner to get close enough to the piece.
