I got a new toy today. I know that it is not the best lathe on the market, but I think I got a good deal. This is my first full size lathe. I purchased it at an estate auction today for $200 even. The gentleman had bought it new, put it together, and then never mounted a single piece of wood on it. There is not as much as a scuff on the tool rests. Let me know what you think and if anyone has one of these let me know what kind of performance I can expect from it. It is a Craftsman 2hp, varible speed, 38" between centers, 15" inboard, 20" outboard, and included the stand as well. The pic is not the best as it was taken with my cell phone before I disassembled the lathe.
