Graziano?

[Cato]

Spotted this (don't need/want it) and it seems very cheap considering what comes with it. Just wondered why really?

Graziano SAG12, chicks, taper turning etc

I had a 14. It’s the imperial version that may explain low price.

The 100 series were metric. I think the 180 was the metric version of mine.

Sold it when I moved workshops as no three phase here. That may also explain the low price.

That said, I advertised mine for a long time in all the right places and got £500 for it in the end. I just couldn’t get more. I also had to throw in a load of stuff to get the guy to go up to £500.

I was on the verge of telling him to get to **Language** but it was that or cut it up so that’s the lesser of two evils even if he was a grade A bellend.

It’s also big and heavy and will be a pig to move. All the above limits the market.

You need a lot of room behind it as well for the taper attachment. They have a generous headstock bore as well. Think it’s 3” if I remember right.

Still regret selling mine.

Possibly have the manual somewhere

I’ve mentioned this lathe on here before and I think @fizzy may have had one previously?

They’re an old thing but I think they’re ahead of their time.

Just seemed a lot of kit for the money to me, but I see your point/s.

It is a lot.

That’s what I sort of struggles with when I sold mine.

Think large old stuff is limited market and you get far more for your money, generally.

If you were trying to buy a single phase lathe that would go in a shed and be collected in a transit you’d be lucky to get a rough old dog for the price that graziano will go for
