I know I've bored many on here with my aspirations of getting a lathe. I want one (No real need) so don't want to spend a lot.
I've seen a few which are very poor for the money.
Today I saw this one - which is CHEAP.
It doesn't have a motor - but the seller has one he can throw in. (And he thinks there might be a 4 jaw chuck somewhere)
Biggest problem I can see apart from the 'fixed' saddle is a lack of countershaft pulleys, which I have assumed I need to slow the motor to a sensible speed. And the tailpost that looks bizarelly diconnected?
For £75 what do you reckon? Can I get it working for £50 or so?
