Buying lathe, could use some input

Yeah, that’s $500 all day long. There’s something interesting going on with the plate on the bed under the chuck but if you’re at all mechanically inclined you really can’t go wrong here.

There’s a removable piece of the way to give it 20 1/2 swing with it removed. The piece is in the pile of stuff.

I'd jump on it without hesitation.

That’s the gap piece, I had a 13x40 that had a broken one so good that you know it’s there.

Yes, tell your buddy it’s sold

A Taiwan made 14" LeBlond style lathe for $500? Um, yes please!

I see a VFD in the Op's future if he does not have 3 phase.

Oh post 1 RPC already in the budget

Good looking for 500...
